Ninja Instant Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breast about 2 breasts
  • 1 12 ounce bag frozen corn
  • 1 15.5 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with chilis
  • 1 16 ounce can fat free refried beans
  • 2 15.5 ounce jar mild salsa
  • 32 ounces chicken broth (low sodium)

Instructions
 

  • Add chicken, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, refried beans, and salsa in the instant cooker.
  • Pour chicken broth over all the ingredients, but do not stir.
  • Set the timer for 7 minutes on high pressure. It will take several minutes for the cooker to come to pressure because of the amount of liquid.
  • After 7 minutes of pressure cooking, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Follow this with a quick release. (Please read manufacturer's directions carefully regarding pressure release)
  • When pot has depressurized carefully remove lid.
  • Remove chicken, place on a dish and shred using two forks.
  • Return chicken to the pot and stir.
  • If you are not serving soup immediately, leave the instant cooker on “warm”.
  • When ready to serve, ladle soup into individual bowls and top with whatever toppings you may like. Suggestions include: crushed tortilla chips, cilantro, cheese, avocado, a splash of lime juice, chopped green onions, or even diced jalapeno peppers if you’re feeling spicy!

Notes

  • If you are looking for a bigger kick to the soup, substitute the mild salsa with hot salsa.
  • This recipe can be made on the stovetop also. Cooking times must be adjusted to ensure that the chicken is fully cooked. Dice the chicken before adding it to the soup pot for faster cooking. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the soup pot. Add diced chicken and sauté for 10 minutes before adding the rest of the soup ingredients, and stir to combine. Bring soup to boil, lower heat to simmer and continue to cook for 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve with your favorite toppings.
