Instant Pot:
- Set your Instant Pot to sauté and add olive oil. Once the pot is hot add the cubed chicken, onions, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Cook until chicken is well browned and the onions have softened. 1 tsp olive oil, 1 lb chicken breast, 1 cup red onion , 1 tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp oregano

Select Pressure Cook (high) and set your cook time for 2 minutes. ¾ cup corn, canned, ¾ cup black beans, 1 cup bell pepper , 4 oz diced green chiles, 1 cup broccoli slaw , ¼ cup water

Shake again before serving. ¾ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dill, 1 tsp parsley, ¼ tsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 3 tbsp water

Notes
- Weight Watchers Points:
- A 1 cup serving with 2 tbsp of chipotle ranch dressing is 0 2025 points | 0 2023 Points | 0 Blue Plan Points, 3 Green Plan Points, and 0 Purple Plan points. Don’t forget to count any add-ins.
- You can easily make these into traditional egg rolls with a chipotle ranch dipping sauce, just remember to count your wonton skins.
- If you’re planning to freeze this, I recommend swapping the coleslaw out for all broccoli slaw, it holds up much better in the freezer.
- If you prefer your cabbage very soft add it to your Instant Pot before cooking under pressure.
- Broccoli slaw is made from the stalks of broccoli. You can purchase it in your produce section, or make it yourself in the food processor.
- If you’re looking for more spice add a few jalapeños before cooking, and ¼ to ½ tsp of cayenne pepper. Remember a little goes a long way.
- If you don’t care for some of these ingredients you can omit them. This recipe is easy to adapt to your tastes and is still delicious.
- If you’re looking to reduce the carbs, only add half the corn and black beans, or omit them completely. As is, it's only about 17 grams for a pretty large serving.
- Traditional eggrolls have pork in them. You can absolutely add ground pork to this recipe, but you will need to account for the points.
- Chop your chicken into small, equally sized cubes to promote even cooking.
- Add salt and pepper to your personal taste.
