Instant Pot Weeknight Chicken and Rice Burrito Bowls

INGREDIENTS:
  1. 1 1/2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
  2. 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 tablespoon chili powder
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  6. 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, divided
  7. 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  8. Kosher salt
  9. Freshly ground black pepper
  10. 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  11. 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  12. 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa
  13. 1 cup long-grain white rice
  14. 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  15. 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Add the oil to the Instant Pot, turn on sauté setting, and heat until shimmering. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chili powder and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and cook, gently scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any stuck-on bits, and simmer for 1 minute.
