Instant Pot Mexican Chicken

Feel free to adjust the spices as you prefer. Make it more or less spicy. Add oregano or change the cumin amount, etc.. You can also just replace the spices for 1 bag of taco seasoning if you prefer. Chicken thigh or leg meat will be juicer than breast meat, but if you prefer, the breast meat still comes out quite nice. We'll usually prefer boneless, skinless chicken, but feel free to use whatever is available to you.

Place the chicken thighs, taco seasoning, salsa, water, chopped onions, and minced garlic in an Instant Pot.

Stir the mixture well to ensure that the chicken is evenly covered with seasoning and submerged in liquid.

Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and set the pressure valve to SEALING.

Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting and set the cooking time for 10 minutes on high pressure.

Allow the Instant Pot to take its time to come to pressure.

After the set cooking time ends, let the Instant Pot release pressure naturally for 5 minutes.

Then, carefully turn the pressure valve to VENTING to release the remaining pressure.

Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and place it on a cutting board.

Using two forks, shred the chicken into medium-sized pieces (they will break up further when added back into the sauce).

Return the shredded chicken back to the sauce in the Instant Pot and let it soak up the flavors for 3-5 minutes.

Stir the mixture well, so the chicken is evenly coated in sauce.

Serve it in tacos, quesadillas, or atop burrito bowls, garnished with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
