1 tablespoon olive oil
450 g (1 lb) chicken breast (or boneless thighs), cut into bite-size pieces
1 large red onion, diced
1 red or green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
200 g ( 1 cup) chopped tomatoes
1 x 400 g (14 oz) can black beans

4 tablespoons fajita seasoning
400 ml (2 cups) chicken stock
200 ml (1 cup) water
Juice of half a lime
Handful of fresh coriander
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté" and heat the olive oil for 1 minute, then add the chicken breast and cook until sealed.
Add the red onion and pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Turn off the "Sauté" function and stir in the chopped tomatoes, black beans, rinsed rice, fajita seasoning, chicken stock and water.
Lock the lid on the Instant Pot, turn the valve in the sealing position and set to "Pressure Cooking" for 7 minutes on high pressure.
When the Instant Pot beeps, release the pressure by performing a quick release. Open the lid and stir in the lime juice and fresh coriander.
Season to taste and divide into bowls. Serve with your favourite toppings such as avocado, extra fresh coriander, lime wedges, sour cream or grated cheddar.
