Take all the yummy fillings from a chicken burrito and morph them into a chicken burrito bowl. Pressure cooking will allow dinner to be done that much quicker! This uses an elevated trivet, and a pot-in-pot method to allow multiple ingredients to cook at once. I also used small silicone bowls to heat the corn and black beans

I give the cooking method 5 stars! Nestling the chicken between the little bowls of beans and corn with the rice on a trivet above them was a super way to get a complete dinner in one pot! The recipe itself needs a little bit more to give it flavor. I followed the recipe exactly but tweaked it when I reheated leftovers. The rice was great as is. I added more salsa to the chicken plus a few drops of Texas Pete and topped everything with sour cream and cheese when I served it. Another time I think I'd sauté the chicken in the butter before adding the salsa. Read More
