Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup (250 ml) tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) beer
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

Method

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well. Rub both of sides the chicken breasts with the spiced dry mixture.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart (6 L) electric instant pot turned to the browning function. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned, turning once, for about 6 minutes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine tomato sauce, beer, chili powder, and lime juice. Stir well and pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Close the pressure cooker and lock the lid. Set the machine to cook at high pressure. Set the timer to cook for 14 minutes.

Using the Quick Release method, bring pressure to normal. Unlock and open the lid. Sprinkle-grated mozzarella cheese over the cooked chicken and tomato mixture. Close the lid and allow staying until the cheese is melted, for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Turn off the cooker. Using a plastic spatula, transfer the cooked chicken to serving plates. Serve hot.
