Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken with honey and lime, made in just 25 minutes! Perfect filling for tacos, enchiladas or served with rice.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup chicken stock or water
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup salsa verde I used Herdez, mild
Instructions
Make sure the stainless steel insert is in your Instant Pot.
Add chicken stock (or water) and lime juice to insert. Place chicken breasts in liquid.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin over chicken.
Drizzle honey over chicken, top with garlic.
Pour salsa verde over chicken. Do not stir.
Close lid, set valve to sealing position (newer models do not require that).
Press manual setting, make sure your IP is set to cook at HIGH pressure.
Set timer to 15 minutes. The IP will beep and start coming to pressure, which will take about 10 minutes.
Once the timer is done, wait 2 minutes, then switch the valve to venting to release pressure.
Carefully open the lid away from your face, remove chicken onto a plate and shred with forks. Return chicken to IP and stir in with liquid.
Recipe Notes
This chicken can be served over rice, as filling in tacos and enchiladas and added to casseroles.
