Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
1 ½ (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth, divided
2 chicken breasts
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 ½ cups salsa
1 ¼ cups uncooked brown rice

Steps:

  • Spray the inside of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) with cooking spray. Pour in 1/2 the chicken broth. Add chicken breasts; sprinkle with taco seasoning. Add beans, corn, salsa, and rice.
  • Pour remaining broth into the pot, making sure rice is submerged. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 22 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 12 minutes.
  • Carefully pull out chicken breasts; let rest on a cutting board. Fluff rice lightly to keep it from clumping together and cover with lid for 5 minutes more. Shred chicken with 2 forks in the meantime.
  • Serve rice in bowls topped with shredded chicken.
