Happy Hump Day BLOG WORLD!




We are halfway through the week already! Not to mention that we are over halfway through JANUARY! Can you believe it!? It will be sunshine and weekends by the pool in no time! But oh boy, that means I better get focused on my 'summer body'.




The IP is great for staying on track when trying to eat healthy. You can whip up a quick, easy and HEALTHY meal in minutes (literally minutes), and I promise, you will never want to run through the drive through for convenience again!




I made this recipe last night, Taco Tuesday, and as you all know I am on the prowl for healthy variations of the beloved beef taco. I decided to try something a little different on this cold, winter weeknight.




IP Chicken Taco Bowls! The recipe is as follows:




4-5 uncooked boneless, skinless breasts if large, cut in half
1-2 packets taco seasoning (1 for mild flavor, 2 for more flavor)
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 12 oz bag frozen corn
1 15 oz jar salsa
3 cups uncooked rice (calls for jasmine, I used white)
3 cups water or chicken broth
Cheddar cheese (optional)
Cilantro (optional)
Sour cream (optional)


This recipe is so incredibly easy! It took me under 5 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to cook! That's a total of 20 minutes for a delicious meal that everyone is going to love!


Simply add 1 cup of your liquid of choice into the IP and layer your chicken breasts on top. Sprinkle the taco seasoning (1-2 packets) directly onto the chicken and add your beans and corn. Finish up by adding the uncooked rice and the remaining 2 cups of liquid. Close and seal your IP! Make sure that puppy is sealed! We don't want an explosion on our hands!


Set your IP to manual HIGH pressure for 12 minutes (that's it!), and once the timer goes off do a quick release until your IP is safe to open!


You guys, this is the EASIEST way to do taco bowls! No mess, no hassle and super simple cleanup!


I topped mine with cheddar cheese and plain Greek yogurt (which is the absolute best substitute for sour cream EVER!) After a few bites, my review is..
OMG, what a delicious dish! The chicken was cooked perfectly and shredded immediately with little effort. The rice was cooked perfectly, and all the flavors worked really well together! I have made a recipe similar to this in the crock pot but it was not nearly as delicious!
This recipe is going to become a staple in our house for sure!
Again, if you don't have an IP, GET ONE! You will not regret it!
