Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos
These tacos are incredibly simple to make and require minimal ingredients. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how the flavors come together so quickly. Let’s dive into the recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Taco shells or tortillas
- Fresh toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cheese, avocado, cilantro
Instructions:
- Start by placing the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot. Pour in the chicken broth and drizzle the olive oil over the top.
- Next, add the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and ensure the chicken is well coated with the spices.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure valve to ‘sealing.’ Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow for a natural release for 5 minutes, then carefully switch the pressure valve to ‘venting’ to release any remaining pressure.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and mix it with the juices for extra flavor.
- Warm your taco shells or tortillas according to package instructions and fill them with the shredded chicken.
- Top your tacos with fresh diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cheese, avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Feel free to add your favorite salsa or hot sauce for an extra kick!
- Serve your Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos with a side of rice or beans, and enjoy a delightful homemade meal!
This recipe is not only easy to make but also allows for customization. You can add any toppings that you love or modify the spices according to your taste. Happy cooking!
