Calories: 136kcal
- 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
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.
