Instant Pot Meals during Covid-19 Isolation

I put these meals together for Chris & Larissa while they are away at Primary Children's Hospital with baby Daxton.  They said they were very helpful and amazing.  Here is the print-out I sent with it.

Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Taco Bowls

1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts (there should be a Ziploc bag of chicken in your freezer)

15 oz. corn, do not drain

15 oz. black beans rinsed and drained

1 pt. salsa

Ziploc baggie of stuff:  (¼ c. taco seasoning +2 T. chicken bouillon +1 ¼ c. white rice)

1 ½ c. water

Toppings: Cheese, Sour cream, Lettuce, Green onions, Taco sauce – whatever you like!

Tortillas for serving – optional (at our house this is mandatory) THERE IS A PACKAGE IN YOUR FRIDGE

 Add all ingredients in the order listed.  Make sure the rice is completely covered with liquid – if it isn’t add a little more water.

Set to sealing.  Cook on Manual/Pressure Cook for 8 minutes.  Natural Release for 12 minutes and then release remaining pressure.  Remove lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork – you are not stirring just fluffing.

Replace the lid and let rest for 5 minutes.  Then slide the rice to the side and find the chicken and shred it and stir it back into the rice mixture.  Serve with the toppings of your choice in a bowl or on a tortilla.
