Happy Wednesday Friends! I hope you are settling into 2018 well! I think I will be until at least March writing 2017 on everything! Isn't that the way it always is.
One of my top gifts for Christmas that I really wanted was an Instant Pot. Raise your hand if you got one! It's funny because scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, I think everyone got one. I'm not going to lie, I was super excited when I unwrapped mine Christmas morning. I really wanted to make something right then and there. But I waited a couple of days. I thought I would share my recipes once we tried them out and if we liked them =)
The first thing I wanted to try was a chicken and rice bowl of some sort. I have a love for Chipotle's chicken burrito bowls so I wanted to try and recreate it.
I started by sautéing a medium sized red onion with a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of my Instant Pot. I love that this is a one pot meal!
I then added a tablespoon of garlic, the juice of one lime squeezed in there. A dash of cumin powder, chili powder, and onion powder, and salt. I didn't measure, just a dash of all. A handful of chopped cilantro. I added 1 cup of uncooked white rice, 2 cups of chicken broth, and mixed it all up. I also added about 1 cup of frozen roasted corn. I then placed 3 chicken breasts on top.
Set your Instant Pot to High Pressure for 10 minutes, and it's DONE. Like your entire meal done in 10 minutes!
I took the chicken breasts out and chopped them up.
We put this in wraps on this particular evening, but the following day for lunch I made a salad out of it.
It's delicious and full of fresh flavor.
Last night I tried a pot roast in it. I didn't take any photos, but it was great, and the entire meal was done in 30 minutes.
I am pretty sure this is going to become my new BFF. I love that I can have a good dinner on the table for my family on busy evenings.
So do you have an Instant Pot? If you do, what are your favorite recipes?
Have a great day!!
