Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon mild chili powder
1 can drained and rinsed black beans
1 cup fresh or frozen defrosted corn kernels
1 15- oz no-salt-added fire roasted diced tomatoes
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup long grain white rice
Juice of 1 lime

Optional serving suggestions

Instructions

Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and broth to a 6-quart pressure cooker, stirring to combine.
Add the beans, corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and tomatoes with juices in an even layer. Do not stir.
Add the rice on top and spread into an even layer over the top so that all the rice is submerged/touching liquid. Do not stir.
Set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 10 minutes.
When the timer goes off, carefully quick release the pressure.
Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork, add the lime juice, and gently stir it into the rest of the ingredients. Do not over-stir, or the rice will become mushy. Put the lid back on the pressure cooker without sealing, and allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes for rice to absorb any remaining liquid if necessary.
Serve with any toppings you like, just don’t skip the toppings, as they really make this dish special!

Notes
