bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while pork belly can be cheaper.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: rotisserie chicken

Thighs are often cheaper and more flavorful, while rotisserie chicken saves prep time.

Place your frozen chicken in the Instant Pot insert.

Add the garlic, onion powder, pepper, dill, parsley, and salt.

Pour your brown rice to the side of the chicken in the Instant Pot.

Pour the broth over the rice.

Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing.

Cook on high pressure using the manual setting for 25 minutes.

Let the pressure naturally release.

Remove the lid and shred the chicken with a fork or spoon.

While the chicken and rice are still hot stir in the cheese, turkey bacon, and plain Greek yogurt.

If you want to garnish your chicken and rice save a little bacon and cheese to sprinkle on top later, if not mix it all in.

Once the yogurt is mixed in well plate your crack chicken and rice, and garnish with cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.
