Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the chicken stock and salsa to the Instant Pot and mix to combine. 
  • Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle over the taco seasoning. Rub the taco seasoning into the meat so the chicken is fully covered in seasoning. 
  • Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot. 
  • Add the diced chipotle pepper over the chicken.
  • Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the sealing position. 
  • Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook-Manual for 12 minutes. 
  • Once the Instant Pot has finished cooking, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes.
  • Then, release any additional pressure manually by switching the valve to the “venting” position. 
  • Shred the chicken and serve as desired. It's great in tacos, on nachos, or in a salad! 
  • Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
