Best healthy dish to prepare in pressure cooker

I find myself wanting to make things in the pressure cooker that aren't that healthy and therefore where I can only have a small portion. Like everyone else in my family has it as a large part of their meal, and I have a small portion with some salad or something on the side.
What are some things you make that are really healthy?

My mom and sister came over last night and we did this recipe for artichokes as an appetizer. It was great! hippressurecooking.com/steamed-artichokes-a-pressure-cooker-classic/0

I poach chicken breasts in the IP and use it for everything all week. I also do my hard boiled eggs in my IP 5 minutes pressure, 5 minutes NR, 5 minutes in cold bath, perfect every time. Last night I took frozen pork chops bone in, added onion, mushrooms 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup water and a can of cream of mushroom soup and pressure cooked 15 minutes. I ate a pork chop and had some vegies, it was great. I love how tender meat comes out in these pots. Won't be trading it in for anything else in my near future.0

I made quinoa in my Instant Pot today to add to my salads this week. Fast and easy. 8 minutes on manual, quick release at the beep.0

I do 1lb of pork loin for 10 minutes. You can shred it or slice it after and add any kind of sauce in smaller amounts. Sometimes I add vegetables that take 10 minutes as well; medium new potatoes, large chunks of carrots, squash chunks, sweet potato. Rub the pork with spices, or just salt and pepper. I usually add about a cup of water as well.1

Can't beat steel cut oats... I triple the recipe and add sliced apples and cinnamon. I start it in the morning, jump on the elliptical while it cooks, make coffee, and it's done! Lasts at least a couple of days and is great to add fresh fruit on top. I have also poached chicken breasts like above poster. They were a great texture, but bland! Do you season the water or the breast if you poach?
