1
Trim the chicken breasts, removing any undesirable parts, and cut each breast into three or four lengthwise strips.
2
Heat the olive oil in the Instant Pot on SAUTE, HIGH setting. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
3
Stir in the ground chipotle chile pepper, Mexican oregano, ground cumin, and ground thyme, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
4
Add the chicken strips, diced tomatoes with their liquid, chicken broth, and golden monk fruit sweetener.
5
Lock the lid and set the Instant Pot to MANUAL, HIGH setting for 4 minutes.
6
When the cooking time ends, allow the Instant Pot to perform a NATURAL RELEASE for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
7
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it cool enough to handle.
8
Meanwhile, use the SAUTE, MEDIUM setting to simmer and reduce the cooking liquid for about 10 minutes.
9
Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the Instant Pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is coated with the liquid and heated through.

Use the prepared Chicken Tinga to create tostadas, tacos, burritos, taco salads, or any Mexican dish of your preference.
