Ingredients

  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 3 (8 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (24 oz) jar salsa I like Pace Thick & Chunky Salsa
  • 2 tablespoons Tabasco Chipotle Hot Sauce more or less to taste
  • 1 (1.25 oz) packet taco seasoning
  • Lime juice and salt to taste
  • Cilantro lime sauce for serving

Instructions

  • Grease a 6 quart Instant Pot with cooking spray.
  • Pour in chicken broth, then top with chicken breasts.
  • Layer on salsa, hot sauce, and taco seasoning — don’t stir, this helps avoid a BURN reading.
  • Cover and lock the lid — be sure the pressure valve is pointing toward SEALING.
  • Cook on HIGH pressure for 10 minutes, then flip the valve to do a quick release.
  • Shred chicken directly in the Instant Pot, then taste and season with lime juice and salt, if desired.
  • Serve as tacos, in a burrito bowl, on nachos, in a quesadilla, over a bed of lettuce, etc. with a drizzle of my homemade cilantro lime sauce and enjoy!
