Plus there were leftovers so I can have lunch at the ready for me today! Winning.

If you like to prep lunches for the week this would be a good choice. Make a batch of this rice and chicken and pack it into containers. Add a dollop of sour cream and a little bit of cheese and you’re ready to go.

Healthy Instant Pot Rice Bowls

To make Instant Pot Chicken Rice Bowls I used my 6 quartInstant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Rice: I used brown rice. You can use other types of rice but you’ll need to adjust the water and the cooking time. Check the rice cooking time chart below for the rice that you want to use and then subtract ¼ cup to ½ cup of the water depending on how saucy you want it. For example usually I use 1 cup brown rice to 1.25 cups of water but in this recipe I used 1.25 cups of rice to 1.25 cups of water.  You’ll also need to adjust if you use frozen chicken or thawed chicken.  If the rice requires less than 10 minutes of cooking time then you’ll need to use thawed chicken that is cut into pieces. Otherwise the chicken won’t cook all the way through.

Instant Pot Black Rice Recipe (forbidden Black Rice)

Chicken: I used boneless chicken thighs. They get really tender and stay moist. Chicken breasts work too although they won’t be as tender. You can also use bone-in chicken if you prefer.

Gluten Free: This recipe can easily be made gluten free. Old El Paso’s Enchilada Sauce is naturally gluten-free and only contains soy as a potential allergen. This product is not manufactured in a dedicated gluten-free factory, so those with an extreme sensitivity should proceed cautiously.

After the cooking process is finished, wait for the natural pressure release of the Instant Pot, which usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes, before carefully unlocking and opening the lid

If you are in a hurry, let the pressure release for 5 minutes, after which you can quick release it by turning the knob from sealing to venting.

You can even freeze this!I sometimes pop the leftover in a freezer bag. I freeze it flat and then stack it up to save space in the freezer. It should last for2-3 months in the freezer.

Also!Use any leftovers to stuff this into burritos.This is a great burrito filling! I usually make this for dinner and then pack it up as lunch the next day as burritos.

The texture will be a little different, but it's so delicious! The chicken gets all the flavors in because of the long marination.
