Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth

  • 1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes

  • 1 ½ cups frozen corn

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • ½ cup cauliflower rice

  • ¼ cup quinoa

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 3 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 pound chicken breast

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

  • 2 (8 inch) corn tortillas, cut into bite-sized strips

Directions

  1. Combine chicken broth, tomatoes, corn, onion, cauliflower rice, quinoa, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add chicken breast. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  2. Meanwhile heat oil in a skillet over moderately high heat. Add tortilla strips and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.

  4. Return chicken to pot to warm. Ladle into soup bowls and top with fried tortilla strips.
