Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 (7 ounce) can fire-roasted diced green chile peppers

  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers

  • cup diced tomato

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Add olive oil and chicken. Sprinkle with flour and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Turn off Sauté function. Add green chile peppers, jalapeños, rice, tomato, onion, Anaheim chile, Cheddar cheese, salt, seasoned salt, and pepper; pour in chicken stock and mix to combine.

  2. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 18 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Cook's Notes:

If you are on a gluten-free diet, use cornstarch instead of flour.

For a healthier option, substitute the white rice with 1 1/2 cups precooked brown rice.
