Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 2 tsp seasoning salt I used Trader Joe's chili lime blend
  • 1 cup salsa fresh or jarred (if using fresh, make sure to blended a bit)
  • 1 lime juiced

Instructions

  • Add the chicken back to the Instant Pot. Season with seasoning blend. Pour salsa and lime juice over top.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and pressure cook on the MANUAL setting for 22 minutes.
  • After the chicken has fully cooked, carefully turn the steam release vent (I always do this with a long oven mitt on) and let the pressure come down manually. Once the valve pops, remove the lid and shred the chicken in the pot with two forks.
