Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups mixed bell peppers, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping the onion and bell peppers, and mincing the garlic.
- Turn on your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the onion and bell peppers until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the chicken breasts along with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pot.
- Pour in the rice evenly over the chicken mixture and then add the chicken broth gently.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow for a natural release of pressure for 5 minutes before manually releasing any remaining steam.
