Instructions
- Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer; set aside. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces; season with Adobo all-purpose seasoning or salt and pepper. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to the Instant Pot and press the SAUTE button. Press the + button to More. When the oil is hot, add half the chicken. Once the chicken starts browning, push it to one side, and add the other half to brown.
- Add the chopped onion and jalapeno; cook until softened. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and rice; stir to coat rice in olive oil. Toast rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken stock, diced tomatoes, green chilies, black beans, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika; salt and pepper to taste.
- Lock Instant Pot lid in place, close steam valve, and set to Manual, High Pressure, for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. When the screen reads LO:10, move the steam release valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure. When the floating valve in the lid drops, it's safe to remove the lid and fluff with a fork. Serve and garnish.
