Insta Pot Salsa Chicken

I


It is an awesome thing when you can throw ingredients into a big pot and have a healthy dinner cook for you - it makes me HAPPY!!
A fellow hockey mom shared this dinner idea using the insta pot. Did you get one for Christmas? You might want to share and save this dinner idea for later.
Salsa Chicken with Rice
You'll need:
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice
  • 3/4 cups salsa
  • 1 can of kidney beans
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • extras you can top with - taco chips hot sauce more cheese
How to make: 
  1. Place brown rice, salsa, kidney beans, corn and chicken stock in the insta pot. Stir to combine
  2. Nestle whole chicken breasts into the mixture and sprinkle with spices (you can sprinkle spices over mixture too)
  3. Secure lid and cook high pressure for 24 minutes. Let pressure naturally release for 10 min and then quick release the rest of the pressure.
  4. Remove chicken and shred into bite sized pieces and fluff up the rice with a fork.
  5. Mix chicken back in and then serve with cheese and other desired toppings.
