For this recipe, I used the Non Stick Instant Pot Inner Cooking Pot for the 6 QT slow cooker. Currently it looks to be out of stock on Amazon but in stock on the Instant Pot website.

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.

Once the chicken is browned, add onions and let soften 1-2 minutes. Add additional olive oil followed by uncooked rice. Stir to toast rice.

  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup of uncooked extra-long grain rice

  • 1 15 oz can of black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 2 teaspoons of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 2 1/4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups of reduced fat colby jack monterey jack or cheddar cheese
  • kosher salt and pepper

  2. Season diced chicken with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

  4. Once chicken is browned, add onions and cook until they start to soften.

  5. Add additional tablespoon of olive oil and uncooked rice and toast uncooked rice for about 2 minutes or just until some grains start to turn golden brown. Don't skip this step. Rice needs to be toasted.
