Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn
  • 1 (8 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 4 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 3 large red potatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium lime, juiced, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground dried chipotle pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup tortilla strips
Instructions
1
Turn on your pressure cooker and switch it to the Saute mode, then pour in some olive oil.
2
Saute sliced green chilies and onions in the oil for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Next, add sliced carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot; saute for another 3-4 minutes.
4
Now it's time to add all the main ingredients: boneless chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, frozen corn, enchilada sauce, chicken broth, water, diced potatoes, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and a blend of spices including salt, cumin, chili powder, chipotle pepper, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix everything together thoroughly.
5
Close the lid of your pressure cooker and secure it in place.
6
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the high-pressure cooking mode, and then set a timer for 14 minutes. Allow about 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
7
To release the pressure, use the natural-release method recommended by your manufacturer - this may take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes.
8
Once the pressure has been released, carefully remove the lid and take out the boneless chicken. Shred or chop the cooked meat into bite-sized pieces, then return it to the pot.
9
Finally, serve your delicious chicken dish hot, topped with crispy tortilla strips.
