Instructions
Mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or preferably up to 8 hours in the fridge.
Pour orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and soy sauce into the bottom of a 6 quart Instant Pot.
Place trivet into the Instant Pot.
Place chicken onto the trivet.
Cover and lock the lid, making sure the pressure valve is pointed towards SEALING.
Cook on HIGH pressure for 10 minutes.
Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for 5 minutes, then do a quick release by flipping the pressure valve to VENTING.
Remove chicken and set aside for 10 minutes.
Drain liquid and set aside to drizzle on chicken. Don’t discard, the liquid has a ton of flavor.
Clean Instant Pot, then proceed with remaining steps.
Hit SAUTE on Instant Pot.
Once it reads HOT, add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sliced peppers, and sliced onions.
Cook, stirring often, until veggies are crisp tender, or cooked to your liking, about 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Slice chicken, then assemble fajitas to your liking!
