These Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls are packed with flavor and simple to make! All your favorite toppings can be added to this bowl to make it your own!
A while back, I posted my Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowl recipe. Big hit and a family favorite! Fast forward to now and I now have a burrito version. Basically the same thing, but a few added/eliminated ingredients adding a variety to the original.
Tacos and burritos are two different things, so these recipes have enough changes to them where you could make both in a week and feel like its something different!
The thing I like most about these burrito bowls are the variety. My kids don’t like a lot of toppings, so they simply omit their dislikes. They LOVE avocado, so they add double. Both my hubby and I prefer a loaded burrito, so we go crazy on our bowls.
Since this is an all in one meal, within minutes, I can have dinner on the table and cleanup is only one pot….which is dishwasher safe so its a win! I use a non stick Instant Pot liner and I swear by it. Nothing sticks anymore, which is great for those recipes where the “burn” notice appears!!
Family approved, budget friendly, and a great meal option when pressed for time! Serve when having company over as it makes plenty and is very versatile!

Sounds delish but would like to eliminate ride. How much broth would I eliminate? Thank you!!
Kristin
I would probably eliminate about 1 cup of broth. You can probably go up to 1 1/2 cups less, but start with 1 cup and see what you think!
Yvette
What kind of long grain rice did you use?
Kristin
I use white long grain rice, but I have also used jasmine rice in this recipe and it turns out great!
Mel
How can I sub in frozen chicken thighs?
Kristin
If frozen, I would add a few extra minutes to the cook time. Not much though as thighs cook faster than breasts due to the bone. Start with adding about 3-4 minutes and then once cooked, shred the chicken, removing from the bone!
Chandra
What kind of peppers bell or jalapeños?
Kristin
1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, and if you want to add jalapenos as a topping, its quite tasty!
