Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped, medium
- 3 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can corn drained
- 1 (15 fluid ounce) can black beans drained & rinsed
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
- 2 (13.5 fluid ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juices, fire-roasted
- 4 cups chicken broth
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Toppings (optional, to taste):
- Mexican shredded cheese blend
- cilantro
- tortilla chips
- lime
- sour cream
- avocado chopped avocado, lime wedges
Instructions
- Sauté the onion in your Instant Pot for 4-5 minutes.
- Add the other soup ingredients, except for salt & pepper, to your pressure cooker and give it a stir.
- Cancel sauté, close the lid, and ensure the valve is on the "sealing" position. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. It'll take about 10-15 minutes for it to get up to pressure.
- Once the countdown has finished, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, and then do a quick pressure release.
- Take the chicken out and shred it with two forks. Add it back into the soup, dish it up, and top each bowl as desired.
