INSTANT POT SOUTHWEST CHICKEN AND BROWN RICE
Steps:
- Place the brown rice, salsa, kidney beans, corn and chicken stock in the instant pot. Stir to combine.
- Nestle the chicken breasts (leave them whole so they won't get dry during cooking) down in the rice/liquid mixture. Sprinkle the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and salt partly over the chicken and partly over the liquid/rice mixture. Spread out the spices and mix some in with the liquid with spoon. (This doesn't have to be precise. Just get some in with the rice and some on the chicken.)
- Secure the lid and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 24 minutes (select Manual and then dial up or down to get to the correctly number of minutes; the IP will start on it's own).
- Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes and then quick release the rest of the pressure. Remove the chicken breasts and shred into bite-sized pieces. Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the chicken and shredded cheese.
- Serve topped with cheese, hot sauce and chips for dipping. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use the right ratio of water to rice. For brown rice, the general rule is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of brown rice you are using and the desired consistency.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This helps to remove the starch from the rice, which can make it gummy.
- Cook the rice on high pressure for 20-25 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the lid.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This helps to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.

Cooking brown rice in the Instant Pot is a quick and easy way to get perfectly cooked rice every time. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and healthy side dish that the whole family will enjoy.
