Description
This Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Burrito Bowls recipe is a quick and flavorful one-pot meal perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup chunky salsa (mild or spicy)
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth (or water)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Shredded cheese
- Chopped cilantro
- Avocado slices
- Sour cream
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add the olive oil, diced onion, and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the chicken is lightly browned on the outside but not fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the rinsed rice, drained black beans, frozen corn, chunky salsa, and chicken broth. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot well to deglaze and prevent any food from sticking or burning during pressure cooking.
- Secure the Instant Pot lid and set it to Manual or Pressure Cook mode on high pressure for 10 minutes to cook the rice and chicken through perfectly.
- Once cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes before doing a quick release to release any remaining steam safely.
- Fluff the burrito bowl mixture gently with a fork and serve warm in bowls. Top with your choice of shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, sour cream, and lime wedges for added flavor and creaminess.
Notes
- Customize with your favorite toppings.
- Use mild or spicy salsa based on your preference.
