  • ⅓ cup salsa
  • 1 medium lime (optional, but highly encouraged)

  1. Combine 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth with 2 teaspoons taco seasoning in the inner pot of your pressure cooker. Nestle 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the liquid. Dollop ⅓ cup salsa evenly over the chicken. DO NOT STIR!

  2. Place the lid on the pressure cooker, being sure the vent knob is sealed and/or the lid is locked. Using the manual or pressure cook button, select the desired cooking time.For SMALL chicken breasts/chicken thighs (~6 ounces each): Cook for 6 minutes on high pressure OR 10 minutes if frozen.For AVERAGE chicken breasts/chicken thighs (~8 ounces each): Cook for 7 minutes on high pressure OR and 11 minutes if frozen.For LARGE chicken breasts/chicken thighs (~10 ounces each): Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure OR 12 minutes if frozen.

  3. Once the cooking time has elapsed, let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes.

  4. Once the pressure has been released, remove the lid from the pressure cooker. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and then shred the meat using 2 forks or a handheld kitchen mixer on low speed.

  5. Once shredded, add the zest and juice of 1 medium lime and stir well to incorporate. Serve as desired.
