Busy weeknight?  I've gotcha!

Some nights I get home and cooking is the last thing I want to do after a long hard day at work.  We are all busy these days, running around doing errands, and a million other things that our days are full.  Getting a dinner that's healthy and tasty on the table just isn't always the easiest thing to do on weeknights.

I have a wonderful solution to that...the INSTANT POT!  This gadget is going to be your new best friend.  If you haven't gotten one yet, let me tell you it has enhanced my life so much in the last year, that it's becoming one of my most used appliances to date.  This is the one I use, and it works perfectly for me.

Chicken Tortilla Soup in the Instant Pot



serves 6


1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced 
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 quart chicken broth, low sodium 
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes, with their juice
1 cup corn, frozen or fresh 
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Turn on your instant pot to saute and allow to heat.  Add olive oil and heat for 1 minute.  Add onion and bell pepper and cook until softened slightly, about 3 minutes. 



Add the remaining ingredients except the limes and the cilantro.  Cover the pot with the lid and set the dial to pressure.  Press the manual button and set the time to 10 minutes.  When it has finished do a quick release.



Remove the chicken from the pot and shred.  Replace chicken in the pot.  Turn off Instant Pot.



Squeeze in the juice of the lime and stir in the cilantro.  Serve.
