30-Minute Meals

This salsa chicken Instant Pot recipe makes an easy weeknight meal even easier. Frozen chicken breasts are combined with taco seasoning and salsa for a tasty Mexican-themed meal. You can use the meat for tacos, burrito bowls, or as a topping for baked potatoes. So many possibilities! I used this the first night for chicken quesadillas. The second night I used it as a topping for baked potatoes with shredded cheese, pickled jalapeños, and sour cream.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound frozen skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
Step By Step Method
  1. Place chicken breasts in a multi-functional cooker (such as Instant Pot). Sprinkle all sides with taco seasoning. Pour salsa and chicken broth on top.

  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  4. Shred chicken and serve as desired.
