Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts skinless, boneless, approx. 2 pounds
- One jar salsa 16 ounces
- a tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
Instructions
- Put the chicken breasts into the pot and dump the salsa and spices on top of the breasts.
- Shut the pot and set it to cook on ‘Manual’ / ‘Pressure Cook’ for 10 minutes and allow for a 5-minute natural pressure release (NPR).
- Let out any remaining pressure, open the pot and allow the cooked chicken breasts to sit for 5 minutes before shredding.
- Use a hand mixer set to medium speed and begin shredding the chicken. Once a small amount of the chicken has shredded, you may wish to adjust the mixer to medium-high for quicker and more complete shredding.
- Serve and enjoy.
