Better, cheaper, faster meal bowl

inspired by an old old cookbook

Chicken meal bowl - insta pot version : see below for regular cooking

1 cup seasoned rice mix
1 cup water

Place ingredients in the Insta Pot and cover and seal.   Push rice button.  
Let machine release pressure.

Remove rice to separate bowl.


In the insta pot bowl. Place the rack.

1 cup water or chicken broth
1 large or 2 small frozen boneless, skinless, chicken breasts.

Place chicken on rack, add water to insta pot.   Cover and seal.  Push the poultry button
Let machine release pressure.  
Chop the chicken in bite sized pieces.

This can be done ahead of time.   Or not.
If done ahead, at meal time mix the rice mixture with the chicken and heat in the microwave.

Toppings:
Diced tomatoes, canned or raw
Sliced black olives
Drained chopped green chillis

Serve with sour cream and salsa.


For the regular cooking version:
Poach the chicken either in the microwave or on the stove until it tests done.
Cook the rice either in the microwave , in a rice cooker, or on the stove as you usually would.   This usually takes twice the water as rice.

Ingrdents:  the quantities depend on how many you are serving.   It is meant to go with pasta, but I cooked it without pasta and it was fine...
