Step 2: Prepare Other Ingredients

Five minutes before the chicken finishes cooking, heat the instant brown rice in the microwave (microwave rice is easiest for quick meal prep). Add on corn, tomato, and mixed greens.

Step 3: Shred Chicken and Assemble Taco Salad Bowls

When the Instant Pot is finished cooking and beeps, flip the valve to "Venting" and allow steam to release. Unlock the lid, and carefully remove it. Once additional steam clears, remove the chicken onto a plate and shred with bear claws or two forks. The meat should fall apart and shred easily. Add meat to the taco bowls, and a little bit of salsa liquid from the Instant Pot. Top with avocado, shredded cheese and chips, if desired. Serve while warm (serves 2). Enjoy!
