Equipment

  • Pressure cooker/Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs frozen or thawed
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 4 ½ oz can chopped green chilies
  • ½ cup salsa of choice choose wisely
  • ¾ cup chicken stock

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken in the bowl of your instant pot. Distribute taco seasoning evenly over the top of the chicken. You have permission to use more than 1 tablespoon if you prefer. Add green chilis, salsa, and chicken stock to the instant pot.
  • Seal your instant pot and set it to high for 12 minutes, if you had time to defrost your chicken, or 15 minutes if you did not. If you add more than a pound of chicken, increase the time by an additional minute or two (depending on the quantity).
  • Check that the chicken has reached 165 °F, then pull it out of the instant pot and allow it to cool slightly before shredding it either with forks or your hands.
