Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp fiesta ranch seasoning
  • black beans
  • rotel
  • corn frozen
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 cup water or two cups of broth

Toppings

  • cilantro
  • avocado
  • cheese
  • sour cream
  • tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • On a cutting board cube up 4 chicken breasts and place into pressure cooker over avocado oil to prevent sticking.
  • Then add a packet of Fiesta Ranch seasoning over the top of the chicken
  • Add a can of black beans to the top of the chicken. Make sure to drain and rinse beans prior to putting in pressure cooker
  • Dump over the top one can of Rotel (no need to drain)
  • Add frozen corn
  • Then mix all ingredients together well in pressure cooker.
  • add uncooked Rice. I do rinse my rice before cooking. (minute rice will cook a lot quicker, so you may need to adjust cooking time if using minute rice)
  • Pour in Chicken Broth and water. I always use low sodium chicken broth and then do half and half water/broth. But feel free to use all broth if you choose. The full broth does give it more flavor, but honestly we don't miss it at all.
  • Set pressure cooker to chicken setting for 15 minutes and once done do a quick release. On that quick release make sure to be careful to stand back from the steam and use a wooden spoon that is long enough where the steam won't burn you.
  • Once done mix ingredients together
  • Serve with favorite toppings like shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream and tomatoes.
  • *Slow Cooker Instructions: 4-6 hour chicken with 1/4 cup chicken broth & everything but rice. Once chicken is done make rice. I make the rice separate with 2 cups of liquid to equal rice over the stove top. Add ingredients together in slow cooker and serve with favorite toppings.

Notes

You can also put this in a slow cooker and dump and go and come home to a nice hot fully cooked meal! I did add *these instructions above after pressure cooker instructions.
I prefer a digital slow cooker for this meal as you can set the desired time you need to prevent under or over cooking. I love this DIGITAL SLOW COOKER HERE, and mama it also comes in PINK so that makes me happy! ha- It truly is the little things!

Crazy Busy Mama TIP:
Looking to substitute to keep as low carb as possible? You can use cauliflower rice and add to chicken after cooked.
