And of course, Don’t forget, YOUR INSTANT POT. For those of you who have never heard of one, or
debating on getting it, I will tell you from firsthand experience that this
thing is amazing! If you’re a super busy mom like me, this tool is a life saver
for tasty, easy and fast family home cooked meals. What is an instant pot you ask? We’ll let me
tell you!
Plain
and simple – it’s a pressure cooker. It takes your cooking time and cuts in
half, crazy I know! Its not a like a crock pot where you food is all mushy,
there are an abundance of recipes you can do to make a variety of meals from
soups, to boil eggs to ribs. YES, RIBS! That will be next on my to make list.
1.
Cut up your chicken and saute in your instant
pot on with a drizzle of oil.
2.
Pour a little bit of chicken broth and taco
seasoning and mix well.
3.
Rinse and drain black beans, corn and add to the
instant pot ontop of your chicken. Add your Salsa and cover the top with 3 cups
of white rice.
4.
Pour chicken broth over mixture – make sure
there is enough broth to cover top of rice * do not over fill or you’ll have
mushy rice.
5.
Manual cook for 8 minutes
6.
Do not vent right away after time is up, allow
meal to sit for 12 minutes and then vent.
7.
Open lid, gently fluff rice –
