1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

For the Rice

1/2 cup frozen corn
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the spices for the chicken (paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper).
In your pressure cooker, heat olive oil on the sauté function. Add the chicken and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pressure cooker and set aside.

Place the chicken on top of the rice mixture.
Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes before manually releasing the remaining pressure.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the chicken and rice dish hot.
Tips
For an even spicier version, add a can of diced green chilies or a few dashes of hot sauce to the rice mixture.
