Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 frozen skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or more to taste
½ cup medium salsa
½ cup tomato sauce
¼ cup lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
1 cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine chicken breasts, salsa, tomato sauce, lime juice, olive oil, salt, garlic salt, and pepper in an electric pressure cooker.
  • Seal pressure cooker and bring to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; cook chicken until no longer pink in the center, 8 minutes for thin frozen breasts and 12 minutes for thick frozen breasts. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Release pressure naturally according to manufacturer's instructions. Open pressure cooker; transfer chicken to a serving dish using tongs. Spoon 1/2 of the cooking liquid over the chicken; top with Mexican cheese.
  • Stir rice into the remaining cooking liquid in the pressure cooker. Add enough water to equal 2 cups of liquid. Seal pressure cooker and bring to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; cook for 12 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. Serve rice with chicken.

I'm not a big fan of rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The rice was so fluffy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The salsa and lime gave the chicken a new flavor and the rice was a great addition.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less salsa. Otherwise, the recipe was great. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the rice was fluffy.
