Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. Add the rice and water to the Instant Pot. Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.

  3. Season the chicken breast with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  4. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, then transfer it to a plate and set aside.

  6. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  7. Stir in the diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans.

  8. Place the seared chicken on top of the mixture in the skillet.
