Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 c chicken broth
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes and liquid
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15oz) can corn drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dreid oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • tortilla strips, avocado, lime wedges optional garnish

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup of the chicken broth. Put the lid on and set the pressure release to Sealing. Select either the Pressure Cook or Manual setting and set the cooking time for 10 minutes at high pressure. (It might take about 10 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure).
  • When the cooking program ends, move the Pressure Release to Venting. After opening the pot, transfer the chicken to a plate or cutting board and shred the chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • After returning the chicken to the pot add the remaining 3 cups chicken broth, tomatoes and their liquid, black beans, corn, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Reset the cooking program by pressing Cancel and then select the Soup setting. Set the cooking time for 5 minutes at high pressure. (It will take about 20 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure).
  • After the cooking program ends, release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes.  Move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with cilantro, tortilla strips, avocado and lime wedges.
