Description

Creamy chicken casserole with corn, beans and green chiles. It’s topped with a crispy Frito cheesy topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 Tbsp dry onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup Pace Picante Sauce (I used mild)
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch + 3 Tbsp water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups chili cheese Fritos
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Pour broth into Instant Pot. Add in chicken, onion, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, black pepper. Dump the beans, corn, green chiles and picante sauce on top. Don’t stir.
  2. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 10 minutes for fresh chicken or 12 minutes for frozen chicken. When time is up let the pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  3. In a small bowl stir together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pot until thickened.
  4. Break up the chicken into pieces.
  5. Turn off Instant Pot. In a bowl mix together the sour cream and 1 cup of the hot mixture from the Instant Pot. Stir the whole mixture back into the pot.
  6. Sprinkle the Fritos on top. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Place air fryer lid on top and set to 300 degrees for 5 minutes. (If you don’t have an air fryer lid you can just scoop the mixture onto plates and top each portion with some Fritos and cheese.)
  7. Scoop onto plates and enjoy.
