Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 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 fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juices
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • salt & pepper to taste
Toppings (optional, to taste):
  • Chopped avocado, Mexican shredded cheese blend, cilantro, tortilla chips/strips, lime wedges, sour cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sauté the onion in your Instant Pot for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add the other soup ingredients, except for salt & pepper, to your pressure cooker and give it a stir. 
  3. 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.
  4. Once the countdown has finished, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, and then do a quick pressure release.
  5. 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.

Notes

  • I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.
  • Here is the stovetop version.
  • You can use chicken thighs if you prefer (use about a pound or so).
