Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 16 ounces salsa we prefer salsa verde
  • 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  • Grab your Instant Pot and add the chicken, seasonings, salsa, and liquid smoke.
  • Secure the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to "sealing". Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button and use the +/- buttons to set the timer for 20 minutes.
  • Once the timer beeps, let the pot depressurize for 15-20 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. When the pin drops, remove the lid and set aside.
  • Remove chicken breasts to a large bowl and shred.
  • Toss shredded chicken with as much sauce as you'd like; we use it all.
