Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups cooked white rice

2 cups frozen veggies (e.g. peas, carrots)

1 cup chopped bacon or ham

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon soy sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and pickled ginger for garnish

Directions

Place the chicken breasts in a pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 12-15 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, toast some sesame seeds in a skillet with a small amount of oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pressure cooker and set it aside to rest. In the same pressure cooker, add the cooked rice, frozen veggies, and chopped bacon or ham. Stir-fry the mixture for about 3-4 minutes, until the veggies are tender and the mixture is well combined.

To assemble the bowls, slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips and place them over the rice mixture. Drizzle with a small amount of soy sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

Serve the chicken bowls hot, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, if desired. Enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

For best results, store any leftover chicken bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a microwave-safe bowl, covered with a paper towel, for about 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.
