Ingredients
- 1 kilogram boneless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 Cup long grain rice

- ½ Cup sweet corn
- ½ Cup chopped tomato
- 1 - 2 green chilli chopped
- ½ Cup canned red kidney beans, drained

Ingredients For Topping Burrito Bowl:
- ½ Cup diced ripe avocado

- ¼ Cup sour cream
- ½ Cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Wash and soak rice in 2 cups of water while you saute remaining ingredients.
- Set the IP in saute mode for 5 minutes. Add oil, chopped onion, and saute for a minute to soften the onions.
- Next, add chicken pieces, seasoning, and saute for 2 - 3 minutes or till chicken pieces turn pale white.
- Add corn, beans, salsa or paste, chopped tomato, and green chilli. Stir to saute for the remaining time.
- Drain water from the soaked rice. Add rice to the IP along with other ingredients. Add stock. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
- Close the lid of IP. Set the Pressure Cook Mode for 3 minutes. Set the steam valve to the sealing position.
- After 5 minutes, open the lid and fluff the rice using a fork.
- Top each burrito bowl with shredded cheese, lettuce, avocado, sour cream, cilantro and lemon juice before serving.
- Enjoy chicken burrito bowl immediately.
Notes
- Set the cooking time as per your rice variety. The kind of white rice I use, it takes 3 minutes to cook in my instant pot.
- Do not add too much water to cook rice. Else, it will turn mushy and sticky. For me the ratio of 1 Cup of rice to 1 ¼ Cup of water or stock works absolutely fine.
- Make sure chicken pieces are of equal, small bite-size size for quick and even cooking.
