Most of the country is dealing with sub-zero temperatures and/or snow right now. We could all use some great comfort food! The best thing about this recipe is that from start to finish you should be able to complete this dish in around 30 minutes. Say what?! Yes, 30 minutes.

One of the things that blew me away when I first got my Instant Pot was the ability to produce JUICY shredded chicken in 10 minutes. I made juicy, shredded chicken previously in my slow-cooker. This is still an amazing way to produce shredded chicken. But, when it comes to weeknight dinners, if I didn’t pop in the chicken early that morning before rushing off to work, then there is no shredded chicken that night.

I prefer to pack up my prepped meals in glass food storage containers. I use this food storage set from Amazon. These also work great for freezing meals.

I am starting to swear by Better Than Bouillon! I have been using it in all of my soup recipes. Purchase it here from Amazon.

• 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn

• 1/2 lime juice of
• 32 oz low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Flavor
• 1/4 packet Taco Seasoning

2. Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, Better than Bouillon, taco seasoning, and tomato paste to the Instant Pot.

3. Close the pot and seal. Place the Instant Pot on Manual > High Pressure Cooking for 10 minutes.

4. Allow the steam to naturally release for 10 minutes instead of performing a quick release.

5. Remove the lid. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred using a knife and fork.

6. Return the chicken to the pot. Place the Instant Pot on the saute function.

7. Add the corn, beans, Rotel, and lime juice. Stir to combine. Allow the soup to cook for 3-4 minutes until the corn and beans have softened some.

8. Serve in soup bowls. Top with tortilla strips, cilantro, and shredded cheese.

Recipe Notes

Additional topping ideas: sliced avocado, reduced-fat sour cream, plain, non-fat Greek yogurt (protein sour cream replacement), guacamole, jalapenos.

Cooking time noted includes the estimated time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.

Instead of using pre-mixed taco seasoning you can make your own using 1 tbsp of chili powder and 1 tsp cumin.

I did not add any additional salt to this recipe. For me, the taco seasoning and Better Than Bouillon Chicken flavor provided enough flavor. If your soup is too salty you can dilute it with small doses of water.
