Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cupstomato salsa
  • 4boneless skinless chicken breasts ((2 pounds))
  • salt ((omit if your seasoning has salt))
  • 1 tablespoonlow sodium taco seasoning

Directions

  1. 1

    Lightly grease Instant Pot and pour salsa into the pot.

  2. 2

    Place chicken breasts on top of the salsa and season with salt (just sprinkle lightly) and taco seasoning.

  3. 3

    Stir to coat the chicken in seasoning and salsa.

  4. 4

    Put the lid on, turn the valve to sealing, and select Manual or Pressure Cook for 10-15 minutes. The exact cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts and if they are fresh or frozen. For small, fresh chicken breasts, 8-10 minutes is good. For large, fresh chicken breasts, 12-15 minutes is good. For frozen, add 2-3 minutes to the cook time. My largest chicken breast was 300 grams and I cooked for 12 minutes.

  5. 5

    When the cook time is up, turn the Instant Pot off and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the valve and removing the lid.

  6. 6

    Shred chicken and toss in juices. Serve over rice, in tacos, on a salad, or on its own.
