Steps

1

Set instant pot to sauté. While waiting for it to get hot, cut chicken breasts (in thirds) and bell peppers.
2

Toss chicken in butter, coat with desired amounts of dry seasonings (The more cajun the better).
3

Put bullion cubes in 2 1/4 cups water and microwave for 2 minutes. Crush cubes with fork and stir. (Alternative option: use 2 1/4 cups chicken broth - I just prefer to make my own!)
4

Sauté minced garlic in oil in instant pot for 2 mins.
5

Turn sauté mode off. Add brown rice and chicken broth to pot. Stir in tomato paste and 1 Tbsp cajun seasoning.
6

Lay peppers then chicken breasts over rice. Sprinkle additional cajun and taco seasonings on top.
7

Using manual setting on instant pot, set pressure to High. Adjust time to 25 minutes.
8

Once time is up, let sit for 10 mins. then move top switch to venting and let pressure out quickly.
9

Shred chicken with fork, stir, and enjoy!
