INSTANT POT CHICKEN BURRITO BOWL

This recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowl is packed with flavor and so easy to make. Boneless, skinless chicken breast, Mexican rice, black beans, and tomatoes with Mexican spices. It’s so delicious and the best part is, everything cooks right in the Instant Pot. This better-than-take-out burrito bowl is going to become a family favorite.


I started by browning the chicken on the Saute function set to More (which is the high heat). Just brown the chicken to give added flavor. It doesn’t need to cook through since it will continue cooking in the Instant Pot. There isn’t a lot of surface area for browning in the Instant Pot, so I recommend browning the chicken in two batches.

Add drained and rinsed beans, drained canned tomatoes, low-sodium chicken broth and spices and Top with your favorite toppings
