Scale

- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the taco seasoning.

- Seal the pot tightly.
- Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes (if using frozen chicken breasts, increase the time to 12 minutes).
- Once the cooking time completes, carefully move the valve to quick release.
- Once it’s safe to open, remove the chicken breasts and shred using two forks or a stand mixer.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to mix well with the salsa.
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to soak up the liquids and flavors.
- Serve and enjoy in tortillas or on top of salad.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spice level with cayenne or diced jalapeños. Let the chicken sit in the salsa for maximum flavor absorption.
