What To Do If You Don’t Have an Instant Pot:
So, what if you don’t have an instant pot? Good news- you can still make this meal! Here’s what I recommend:
Bake the chicken with the same ingredients as the instant pot version. Bake at 400F for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is at 165F.
Then shred the chicken and add it to a pot or skillet on the stove. Add in the beans, corn, and cooked rice. Stir and heat over low medium heat until everything is warm.
