Instant Pot King Ranch Chicken

Each week in 2020 I’m sharing a recipe inspired by one of the 50 states. So far I’ve covered…

  • Alabama
  • Louisiana
  • Utah
  • Minnesota
  • Colorado
  • Idaho
  • Hawaii
  • South Carolina
  • Illinois
  • Iowa
  • Alaska
  • New Mexico
  • West Virginia
  • Arkansas
  • Kentucky
  • South Dakota
  • Pennsylvania
  • Georgia
  • North Dakota
  • Missouri
  • Tennessee
  • Nebraska
  • Ohio

See all the state recipes in one place.

Today’s recipe is inspired by the Lone Star State, Texas. Texas is the second largest state by area in the United States and it is the largest of the contiguous 48 states. They say, “everything’s bigger in Texas.”

Last week I talked about Ohio and how my husband, Greg, lived there for 10 years growing up. The second state of his youth was Texas where he also lived for 10 years. He loved his time in the Dallas area.

When I think about Texas I think about the Dallas Cowboys, hot weather, “the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas”, super nice people, barbecue, Tex-Mex and the Alamo.

I could have chosen a number of different recipes to represent Texas. Mainly barbecue or chili or anything Tex-Mex. I didn’t think I could do those justice. I get a feeling that my Instant Pot brisket and my Instant Pot chili might not make the Texan cut. I’m pretty sure Texans take those two food super seriously.

So instead I chose to go for a casserole called King Ranch Chicken. From what I’ve read King Ranch Chicken is one of those casseroles that is at every potluck in Texas. I’m not sure about that but what I do know is that my version is super yummy and has no cream of soups and makes an excellent weeknight dinner. My version has Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles), corn tortillas, a few spices, chicken and lots of cheese.

The corn tortillas are added in right at the end so they don’t get mushy. Usually I’m not a fan of corn tortillas but for this recipe they are a must. If you use flour tortillas they get gummy. Plus if you’re serving someone who needs to eat gluten free the corn tortillas make that easy.

This casserole sure tastes good. And the leftovers taste great too. Try out this Instant Pot King Ranch Chicken this week!

Description

This cheesy and creamy chicken casserole with tortillas and Rotel has its roots in Texas but that doesn’t mean us non-Texans can’t enjoy it too! Whip up my version in just a few minutes using your Instant Pot and NO cream of soups!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10 oz) can rotel (I used mild)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 11 (6 inch) soft corn tortillas, cut or torn into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups grated medium or sharp cheddar cheese
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sour cream, for topping
  • Sliced avocados, for topping

Instructions

  1. Add broth, onions and chicken into the Instant Pot. Dump the rotel on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano and salt over the chicken.
  2. Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 12 minutes for small chicken breasts, 15 minutes for large chicken breasts (if frozen add 3 minutes to each of the times). When the time is up let the pot sit for 5 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  3. Place chicken on a cutting board. Shred or dice into pieces. Add the chicken back into the Instant Pot. Add the bell pepper into the Instant Pot.
  4. Turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. In a bowl stir together the half and half and the cornstarch together until smooth. Stir the mixture into the Instant Pot. It should thicken up shortly. 
  5. Add in the tortillas and the cheese. Stir. Salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Scoop onto serving dishes and top with cilantro and a dollop of sour cream and avocados.

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*.

    Just did this for dinner tonight; I was a little on the fence even when I was dishing it up for myself, but all doubts were gone once I tasted it! I made it to spread across multiple meals, so I omitted the tortillas and added some extra cornstarch, topped it off with sour cream and guacamole, and scooped it up with tortilla chips. I’ll definitely be making this one again!

    While my wife was visiting her mother, I made this recipe for my daughter, her husband, and 4 children (including twin 4-year old boys). I replaced the half and half with a 13.5 ounce can of Coconut Milk due to my daughter’s dietary concerns. To make it fun for the kids, I had them smash 5-6 jalapeno-lime flavored tortilla chips in a sandwich sized zip lock bag. They then poured the crumbles over their “soup”. The verdict was 100% positive and I was asked to put this meal in our rotation to have again. A BIG WINNER with picky kids trying a new meal. Two thumbs up from all four kids! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    I have made at least a dozen of your recipes and they’ve all been good and several have been excellent. I have always sprayed the inner pot with “PAM” and have no trouble with scraping the cooked on bits off the bottom of the pan–so no burn message.

    My husband isn’t much for casseroles, so was thinking of leaving out the corn tortillas and putting the dish on TOP of tortilla chips with all the extras as Nachos. But will the sauce be too thin?

    This might be dinner tonight. We try to do lower sodium, so I will use my no salt added ro-tel, and might reduce the salt to 1/2 tsp. Squeeze in fresh lime juice at the end to help boost that flavor. And I don’t have corn tortillas, don’t feel like running to the store . . . think I’ll make tex-mex corn bread to serve instead. May substitute some cotija cheese for some of the cheddar.

    I know that’s a lot of changes, but in the spirit of your original recipe . . . a can of no salt added black beans might be good, too! Thank you for sharing!

    Made this for supper tonight and it was so easy and so good! Son and I each ate 2 bowls of it. Topped mine with sour cream and diced avocado. Only changes I would make is up the Rotel to it’s next heat level, we both thought it needed just a little kick and maybe one less tortilla. The tortillas really soak up the liquid like pasta does. This recipe is a keeper for sure.

    P.S. I noticed in your ingredient list it says 1 cup diced onion but when you look at your picture aids it says 1/2 cup diced onion. <3

    This was delicious! I loved every bite! For inquiring minds that are not familiar with Rotel, you can buy various degrees of tomato/chilies heat…mild, original, and hot! If you don’t like spicy, go for the mild! Original is hotter, and Hot is way too hot for me!

    I grew up in Tx. I’ve made king ranch casserole so many times because it usually has TX pantry staples. While this casserole is not one that comes to mind when I think of TX, it would be hard to choose a recipe since every TX family has there favorites when it comes to meat, bbq, chili, salsa, or anything TX Mex.
    This is actually a good choice because it has simple ingredients, easy to make and contains similar Tex Mex flavors. It’s also considered comfort food. I can’t wait to try this instant pot version since it’s getting too hot to turn on oven.

      After craving king ranch chicken all day, I had to make it for dinner. It didn’t disappoint and good to know I can now make it in the IP instead of heating the whole house using the oven. I did have to make some minor changes due to ingredients on hand but it didn’t affect overall flavor. I did omit red pepper but was thinking next time adding a southwest frozen blend of corn and peppers. This casserole is a good base to add additional ingredients as well as more heat. As my husband went for a second bowl, he asked how it could be a TX recipe since no beef or heat. Lol I told him I’d add more heat next time and yes, Texans do eat chicken. Thank you so much for sharing recipe.

        I think, maybe heating the flour tortillas in a skillet on low without burning them and making them too dark will harden the flour tortillas some almost close to corn tortilla feeling like a crunchyness may not be that soggy if left its going to be leftovers or just add enough to your bowl at the time and not add anymore until the next day and mix it at the time of reheating. Just a couple of options I was just thinking about for those that don’t like corn tortillas. 😊 You know we have to figure things out for our picky kids. All 3of mine are picky and eat like birds.

          I do not believe I have ever used the saute function with my newish (3 months) Instant Pot and not gotten the BURN notice. Regardless of the amount of scraping and deglazing done prior to bringing it up to pressure. Manufacturer seem to have upped the sensitivity of the darn things and many of us get caught. I have learned to NOT leave the kitchen until it comes up to pressure since it only appears when full pressure is attained. Once it hits and the manual pressure has allowed the cooker to be open, scraping with the silicone spoon then allows the second attempt to be successful. I do not believe even waving a chicken over the damn thing will help so I just allow myself the extra 7 minutes (waiting for the burn and then moving forward) or stating in a separate skillet and then adding everything (which is much easier if pot in pot is being used.

            This is disheartening to read Steve! I’m so sorry you’ve had such problems with it. I wonder if we can pinpoint exactly which version is the one that is so sensitive. I have 2 luxes, 1 duo and a nova and have NEVER had the burn signal. Not because I didn’t deserve it. Just because of the model I’m pretty sure.

    Karen, wishing and praying for your husband. Modern medicine is amazingly wonderful. These things are often more traumatic on the family than on the patient.. Please take care of yourself, and keep us informed.

    Could flour be used in place of cornstarch? Or us cornstarch best?

      You could try it without cornstarch and see how it does. The corn tortillas thicken things up pretty well.

        If I were to do the flour and cream version for thickener, how much flour in the slurry? How much cream or is it the same as for cornstarch? Also, I don’t have heavy cream, just half and half – will that do?

          Half and half will be fine. And for the slurry I would use the same amount as the cornstarch.

      Sure! I would follow directions for a traditional king ranch chicken recipe. I would just google it.

    Thanks for the recipe just one question- the soft corn tortillas just go in their cut without anything being done to them?

    Yum!!! Clean platers all around. I use and recommend your site religiously!! I’m not sure I’ve ever made anything I don’t enjoy 🙂 I have found that dicing chicken before cooking yields better results for me, I’m at high altitude so I have to adjust lots of cooking and baking recipes. We also served it over rice as we are a rice loving family. Thanks again for all the amazing recipes you put together!!!
