Instant Pot Cuban Chicken and Rice (Arroz Con Pollo)

I love food, I love to eat, I love to cook, I HATE to clean it all up! Thank you William Howard Livens for inventing the modern-day dishwasher. I am retired and currently doing what I have always wanted to do, I am a true blue Homemaker. My DH and I moved from our lifelong home in Hawaii to Arizona. We worked very hard, as most people do, so that we could indulge in life. We are having a blast!

6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs or 2 lbs Chicken Breast

1 tsp plus 1 TBL Salt

Ground Pepper

2 TBL Olive Oil

1 Yellow Onion, chopped fine

1 Green Pepper, chopped fine

4 Cloves of Garlic, minced

1 4 oz jar of minced Pimentos

1 ½ cups Beer ( You can use whatever beer you have on hand. However, if you don;t have beer you can use white wine. If you use wine only use ¾ cups of wine and 2 ¼ cups water.)

2 packets Sazon con Asafran

½ tsp Bijol

½ tsp Cumin
