    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, cumin, and honey together to form a smooth, thick paste. Set aside.
    2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Mist the skillet with olive oil spray. Add the chicken, smooth side down. Brown for 2 minutes. Flip and brown for 2 more minutes.
    3. Spoon the honey mixture over the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170° F.
    4. While the chicken finishes cooking, place the green beans in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
    5. When the chicken is done cooking, chop into 1-inch pieces. Mix the chicken with the cooked green beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, and dressing. Toss well. Add the pepper and toss again.
    6. Divide the chicken-and-bean salad mixture into 4 servings (3 cups each) and
      spoon onto individual romaine leaves to create lettuce “boats.” Or place 1 cup of
      chopped romaine on each plate, topping each with 3 cups of the chicken mixture.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Combine the pork, 4 cups of the water, the onion, cilantro sprigs, 3 of the garlic cloves, and the bay leaves in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until the meat is fork-tender, about 40 minutes.
    2. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Strain the cooking liquid from the Dutch oven and reserve 3 cups. Discard the rest.
    3. Place the tomatillos, chiles, remaining 1 cup of water, and remaining 3 garlic cloves in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the tomatillos are tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
    4. Transfer the tomatillo mixture and chopped cilantro to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Transfer to the Dutch oven. Add the shredded pork, the reserved 3 cups of cooking liquid, hominy, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.
    5. Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Top each bowl with a few radish slices and a lime wedge.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the squash in a microwave-safe baking dish, cut side down. Loosely cover the dish with a lid, leaving room to vent. Microwave the squash for 10 to 15 minutes. The squash is done when it’s soft to the touch. Set aside.
    2. While the squash is cooking, add 1½ Tbsp of the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the oregano and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165° F. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.
    3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1½ Tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and red pepper, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the spinach and chicken broth, and cook an additional 4 minutes.
    4. Use a fork to pull out the flesh of the squash. Add the squash “noodles” and the chicken to the skillet. Heat for 2 minutes, mixing well. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Divide among 5 bowls and serve.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Press the Saute/Browning button. When hot, add 1 Tbsp. oil, tilt the pressure cooker pot to coat bottom lightly. Add sausage and cook 3 minutes or until beginning to brown on edges. Add 1/3 cup of the water, the zucchini, 3/4 cup of the onion and oregano, cook 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender crisp, scraping up browned bits. Place in a medium bowl with hot sauce and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Cover to keep warm.
    2. Put a steamer basket in the pressure cooking pot and add the remaining water. Top with the potatoes. Lock the lid in place and close the seal valve. Press the Cancel button and reset to Manual for 18 minutes. When time ends, use a 10-minute natural pressure release, then a quick pressure release.
    3. When valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove potatoes with tongs (or a fork). Split potatoes almost in half and fluff with a fork. Add the salt and pepper to the sausage mixture and spoon equal amounts over each potato. Top with the cheese and remaining 1/4 cup green onion.

    Instant Pot Wheat Berry, Black Bean, and Avocado Salad

    How to Make Instant Pot Wheat Berry, Black Bean, and Avocado Salad

    A wheat berry is a whole wheat kernel which is made up of the bran, germ, and endosperm. It’s a true whole grain, meaning It is high in fiber and packed with nutritional benefits. It has a nutty flavor, and a crunchy and chewy texture that seems to pop as you bite into it. It also holds up well, so you can make a big batch to keep on hand to add to salads, soups, or use in place of rice.

    Wheat berries normally take a long time to cook (and dried black beans, too), but in this recipe, you can cook them together in the Instant Pot and cut their cooking time in half!
