Make chicken tacos in the Instant Pot tonight! Seasoned chicken is cooked with salsa to juicy perfection in this easy chicken taco recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning mix
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour chicken broth into the Instant Pot. Add chicken breasts in a single layer. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken breasts. Top with salsa.

  2. 2

    Secure the lid and make sure the pressure valve is set to SEALING. Select the HIGH PRESSURE (or manual cook mode) and set the timer for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    When the timer is done, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes and then manually release the rest of the pressure. 

  4. 4

    Remove chicken breast and place them on a cutting board or plate. Shred the chicken with two forks.

  5. 5

    Drain about ¼ cup of liquid from the Instant Pot into a measuring cup. I like to reserve this incase the tacos need a little additional liquid after mixing.

  6. 6

    Put the shredded chicken breast back into the Instant Pot. Add lime juice and zest. Stir to combine. Serve on flour or corn tortillas.
