Just a little inside scoop: Hubby has used the thing MORE than me ... he's become the designated cook lately and well, he doesn't always follow the directions and we've had a few flops ...
Back to an EASY meal that only uses a few ingredients. All you need is the following:
2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cumin
black pepper
generous dash of oregano
1 jar chunky salsa (about 2 cups worth)
Ready??
Mix the salt, cumin pepper and oregano in a small bowl and season the chicken on both sides. *YES that jarred salsa was compliant if I remember correctly. Just check your labels!*
Toss them bad boys in the pot and dump the salsa over the chicken.
Secure the lid, making sure your vent is CLOSED and press the poultry button, adding another 5 minutes so you have a total of 20 minutes cook time.
Rule #1 - always make sure the seal is tight Rule #2 - always make sure your vent is closed!
Let the Instant Pot do it's thing and wait for the pressure to release when done cooking (seriously, this will take a total of about 30 to 35 minutes. TOTAL time to come to pressure, cook and de-pressurize).
Start time Dishing up
Pull chicken out of pot and either chop chop or shred with 2 forks (I like mine chunkier so I chopped) and add salsa from pot to the shredded chicken.
Serve up any which way you'd like: over zucchini noodles, as a taco lettuce cup filling, over shredded lettuce, over riced cauliflower, or, eat it as is, like Hubby did!
Another side note: did you know that there is actually jarred salsa out there that's Whole30 compliant? This jar of Chi-Chi's is ... as is Tostitos. Who would have thought! Read your labels, you'll be surprised just what you CAN eat!
Enjoy!
**Yes, this can be cooked in a crockpot instead ... cook on low for about 4 hours**
