Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breast for that tender pull every time
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil to help marinade soak in
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika adds some smoky, savory notes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder adds some smoky, savory notes
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce sweet and tangy for that classic honey BBQ flavor
  • ¼ cup honey for that sticky, golden sweetness
  • 1 cup long grain rice the perfect bed for all the chicken goodness
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 head romaine lettuce chopped fresh for crunch
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top
  • ¼ cup pickled onions add that zing
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro for the final fresh punch
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing brings the creamy punch

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Add olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder into a large bowl and mix in the BBQ sauce and honey to make a marinade.
  • Toss the chicken breasts in the marinade and place them in the pressure cooker. Lock the lid, set the valve to seal, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Do a quick release for firm texture or natural release for a softer texture.
  • Cook rice separately according to package instructions, and warm up black beans and corn.
  • Once the pressure drops, open the cooker, let the chicken rest, and slice it evenly.
  • Build bowls by layering rice, black beans, corn, sliced chicken, romaine lettuce, cheddar cheese, and pickled onions. Finish with cilantro and ranch dressing drizzle.
  • Serve fresh and enjoy immediately.
