Instructions

Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces. In a bowl, combine chicken with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
Heat instant pot to sauté. Add in the olive oil. Sauté the yellow onion for ~3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add in garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Add in seasoned cubed chicken, followed by the salsa, chicken broth, diced green chiles, and black beans. Stir to combine. Pour the rice on top of all of the ingredients. You can press the rice down gently to make sure the rice is submerged, but do not stir! Attach the lid and seal. Be sure the valve on top is set to sealing and not venting.
Turn the Instant Pot to high pressure for 10 minutes. Natural release for 2 minutes and then quick release by turning the valve to venting (be careful and use a towel or pot holder so the steam doesn't burn your hand). Serve and build the bowls with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Freezer friendly and great for meal prep!
BROWN RICE INSTRUCTIONS: 1 cup broth, 1 cup brown rice. Cook on high pressure for 20-25 minutes.
