For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Simply shred the chicken after cooking and discard the bones and skin. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the level of spiciness. Rinsing the rice prevents it from becoming too sticky during the pressure cooking process. To make it vegan, substitute the chicken for more beans or any other plant-based protein.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
4 mins
Engage the 'Sauté' function on your Instant Pot®. Add olive oil, followed by the cubed chicken and diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the chicken is no longer pink on the surface, approximately 4 minutes. Introduce the minced chipotle peppers, chopped bell pepper, cumin, and oregano. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Turn off the 'Sauté' function.
02
Step
10 mins
Pour in the chicken broth and picante sauce, ensuring to deglaze the bottom of the pot by scraping up any browned bits. Add the rinsed rice, black beans, corn, and lime juice. Stir to thoroughly combine all ingredients. Secure the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to 'Sealing'. Select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' function and set the timer for 4 minutes. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot.
03
Step
5 mins
Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, following the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Once all pressure is released and the pin drops, unlock and remove the lid. Allow the mixture to stand for about 2 minutes, during which time it will thicken slightly. Ladle the chicken burrito bowl mixture into serving bowls. Garnish generously with your desired toppings.
