Instant Pot Salsa Brown Rice and Chicken

I am always on the lookout for great Instant pot recipes. As a busy mom I need recipes that I can throw together in the instant pot, and walk away. Today I have created just that. Here you can put frozen chicken in the instant pot with brown rice, and salsa and create a delicious concoction. My pickiest of eaters love it, and that’s what I like! I hope your family will enjoy this recipe as much as my family has.

 

Vegan Version

Follow the recipe below, just omit the chicken and add 2 cans of beans instead. This recipe is very filling and even better with diced avocados and olives on top. Enjoy!

    Hello! What modifications would you suggest if using white rice instead of brown? Less water? Reduced cooking time?

      I have never made this recipe with white rice, but if I did, this is what I would do. I would cut the water down by 1 cup, then I would adjust the cooking time to 18 minutes. Hope that works!
