Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups chicken broth or vegetable stock
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed

1/2 cup quinoa
2 large boneless skinless chicken breast, uncooked and diced
1 tablespoon lime juice
Avocado (optional)
Cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Select sauté and add oil to the pressure cooker pot. When oil is hot, add the sweet potato and onion and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in chili powder, chipotle, cumin and salt. Add chicken broth, black beans, tomatoes, quinoa, and chicken and stir to combine. Lock lid in place, select High Pressure and 4 minutes cook time and start. When timer beeps, turn off pressure cooker, wait 5 minutes, then do a quick pressure release.

Garnish individual bowls with avocado, cilantro, sour cream or shredded cheese.
