Equipment
Ingredients
- 2-4 medium chicken breasts medium size, boneless, skinless, cut in half (unless frozen and cannot be sliced)
- 1 jar salsa 15 oz
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water, not necessary if your salsa has a lot of liquid
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning optional but adds a lot of flavor, I use 1 tbsp for 2 breasts
Instructions
- Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise and put inside your Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Sprinkle your taco seasoning on top of them
- If you are adding 1 sliced onion and/or 1 bell pepper add them on top of your chicken.
- Pour salsa on top of everything.
- If your salsa is very chunky without much liquid add 1/4 c. water or chicken broth, if it is more liquidy this isn't necessary.
- Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 13 minutes, with frozen breasts that cannot be sliced set to 16 min.
- Naturally release steam for 2 minutes, then do a quick release. If making shredded chicken tacos use two forks to shred the chicken inside the pot.
- Can serve whole breasts on top of rice or use shredded chicken inside small tortillas topped with salsa mixture inside pressure cooker and other taco ingredients like cheese etc...
