My Instant Pot Santa Fe Chicken Rice Bowl a one-bowl wonder. You will wonder where it all went when it is all gone! Hey there friends, this is Jennifer from JENRON DESIGNS. Today you are in luck not only am I sharing one of my favorite of one bowl wonders my Instant Pot Santa Fe Chicken Rice Bowl, but a few of my bad jokes to truly entertain you.
Are you tired of doing all the dishes associated with 3 meals a day, during the shelter-in-place lifestyle? Would it be nice to have a one-pot wonder meal that goes into one bowl? Yes, I thought I might have your attention. Then you must give my Instant Pot Santa Fe Chicken Rice Bowl a try this week.
Ingredients
This recipe uses a lot of basics you probably already have in your pantry like rice, onions, and sweet potatoes. Along with a few refrigerator staples like sour cream, tomatoes, and chicken. Then add in a fresh lime to brighten up the entire dish.
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the saute setting, this will heat up your pot and save you time. Then lightly saute your diced sweet potato and red onion strips along with 2 tbs of olive oil for approximately 3 minutes. I personally like using a slotted Spurtle for this part of the cooking.
Next, you will add in your pre-seasoned chicken tenderloin strips. I used 2 tbsp of my favorite taco seasoning mix to lightly coat the chicken. Then saute for 5-6 additional minutes, until then the chicken is lightly browned.
Add in 1 cup of warm water along with your rice, to your Instant Pot. Seal and cook at the High-Pressure Cook setting for 10 minutes. When cooking time is done, carefully quick vent your Instant Pot and fluff rice with a slotted Spurtle.
Note:
While you are cooking the rice, chicken, and vegetables, you will want to dice up your tomato, and thinly slice your spring onion for garnishing. Also, go ahead and mix your sour cream, chipotle seasoning, lime zest, and lime juice to make a dressing. If you need to thin the dressing you can add 1 teaspoon of water at a time to the mixture, until desired consistency is reached, so you may easily drizzle over the top of your dish.
