What's Cookin Wednesday, January 23rd

Happy Hump Day, friends!  I hope everyone is having a great week!  At least once a week, I try to do a meatless meal or two.  This week, I have decided to use a recipe that I haven't made in quite some time.  I found this recipe several years ago from Moms with Crockpots.  The original recipe calls for corn, but as I have a child with an allergy to corn, I substitute it for bell pepper.  The recipe, as modified, is shown below:

  A big THANK YOU to Kim over at  A Girl and Her Phone  for putting together this collaboration!  This time we are doing our favorite Instant Pot recipe.  I will be honest and say that I have not made Fried Rice in the Instant Pot before but it is a family favorite!  I used this  Easy Instant Pot Hibachi Fried Rice  as my guide.  We had brown basmati rice that had already been cooked that I needed to use, as well as some shredded chicken that I had on hand.  Also, I used the veggies from a Stir Fry Teriyaki Kit but not the sauce.  This was definitely a good choice for my crew!  Looking forward to making this again!   Here's how I modified the recipe to make it work for me: Sesame oil - 1Tbsp Bragg Organic coconut liquid aminos - 3 Tbsp Unsalted butter - 1Tbsp Egg(s) - 4item(s) Stir fry vegetables without sauce - 9 cup(s) Cooked brown rice - 4 cup(s) Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast(s) - 8oz I added the sesame oil, cooked down the onions and veggies.  Then added the butter an
