A Simple & Healthy Egg Roll Bowl

Egg Roll Bowl

This is a popular recipe at our house that is fast and easy to make in the middle of the work week. My husband is especially fond of this dish and even offers to make it most of the time. To make thing easier…this is an Instant Pot recipe! For the longest time I wanted an Instant Pot to utilize as a multi cooker. I knew I would be able to utilize its many features in various ways when I needed to make something fast. This recipe is a great way to use the Instant Pot in two ways…first as a rice cooker and second as a pressure cooker.

I typically utilize my Instant Pot when I need to make soups, rice or cook up some fast chicken breast for shredding into a recipe. This recipe also uses the sauté feature which helps to jump start everything. I think you’ll find this recipe an easy one and maybe even one that you add into your meal rotation. Now, I am happy to share how easy and fast this meal is and I know you will enjoy it!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
