Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Burrito Bowls

These Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Burrito Bowls are one of my favorite go to meals when I'm short on time. There are lots of different ways you can serve this chicken burrito filling.

You could make actual burritos with this chicken burrito filling. Just add it to a tortilla with your toppings and roll it up and eat it as a burrito. It would also be great served in tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, or nachos.

Can I Make This Is The Slow Cooker?

Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 package of taco seasoning
  • 1 can of sweet corn, drained
  • 2 ¼ cups of chicken broth
  • 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can of Rotel (diced tomato with chopped green chilies)
  • 1½ cups of uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced

How To Make Shredded Chicken Burrito Bowls In The Instant Pot

Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls Process Steps
  1. In the Instant Pot, pour just enough chicken broth to cover the bottom of the pot. Then place the chicken breasts along the bottom of the pot.
  2. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
  3. Pour the corn, black beans, and Rotel into the pot.
  4. Add both the green and red bell peppers, and the onion.
  5. Rinse the rice and then add the rice evenly to the pot.
  6. Then add the remaining chicken broth.
  7. Try to push the rice down so that it's covered by the broth.
  8. Using your Instant Pot's instructions, pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Allow it to slowly depressurize for 10 minutes. Then release the sealing valve to vent any remaining pressure. Remove the lid. Using 2 forks pull the chicken meat apart so it becomes thin enough for a good taco consistency.
  9. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients and place the lid back on. Do not turn the Instant Pot on, but let it sit with the lid sealed for at least 5 minutes. This will finish cooking any rice that may have been sitting on the top and not cooked all the way through.

Course Main Course
Cuisine Mexican
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ¼ cups chicken broth
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning
  • 15 ounce can sweet corn, drained
  • 15 ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can Rotel (diced tomato and chopped green chilies)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • cups uncooked long-grain rice

Instructions
 

  • In the Instant Pot, pour just enough chicken broth to cover the bottom of the pot. Then place the chicken breasts along the bottom of the pot.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
  • Pour the corn, black beans, and Rotel into the pot. Try to pour them in different sections of the pot, so everything doesn't pile up in one place.
  • Add both the green and red bell peppers, and the onion. Again, spreading them evenly along the top, so they don't pile up too much.
  • Rinse the rice and then add the rice evenly to the pot. Then add the remaining chicken broth. Try to push the rice down so that it's covered by the broth.
  • Using your Instant Pot's instructions, pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Once it's done cooking, allow it to slowly depressurize for 10 minutes. Then release the sealing valve to vent any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the lid. Using 2 forks pull the chicken meat apart so it becomes thin enough for a good taco consistency.
  • Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients and place the lid back on. Do not turn the Instant Pot on, but let it sit with the lid sealed for at least 5 minutes. This will finish cooking any rice that may have been sitting on the top and not cooked all the way through.
  • Enjoy in a bowl by itself, in a soft tortilla, or with tortilla chips. And don't forget your favorite toppings!

Notes

I’ve made this many times; it’s a favorite in my family! I usually increase the veg until the pot is full 😂 then I freeze leftovers fat in ziplocs and they thaw and reheat beautifully. So delish! Thanks for one of our go to faves! ❤️

Delicious! I made it today. Love that it contains fresh ingredients along with canned and prepared. Only change was I only had minute rice and was less than 1.5 cups. I just sprinkled them on top (about 1 cup). I server in a bowl topped with a lot of lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. Excellent, highly recommend.
