Instant Pot Salsa Chicken {Meal Prep}
This Instant Pot Salsa Chicken is perfect for meal prep – just throw some chicken in the Instant Pot with taco seasoning and salsa and enjoy!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 medium-sized chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp homemade taco seasoning
- 2 cups fresh salsa (I love the Garden Fresh Gourmet brand)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup corn
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Add olive oil, chicken, taco seasoning, salt and pepper, salsa and chicken broth to Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 10-15 minutes to preheat and then cook on high pressure for the 4 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare veggies.
- Do a quick pressure release, then open lid when safe to do so and remove breasts with a fork, leaving sauce. Shred with a fork and knife, then dump shredded chicken back in with sauce.
- Add lettuce, black beans, corn, chicken, cheese, onion, cilantro and avocado to a large bowl, then serve and enjoy! If packing in meal prep bowls, they should last in the fridge about 5 days.
Notes
Use any kind of fresh or jarred salsa of your choosing.
Turn your salsa chicken into tacos, salads, wraps and more.
Store this chicken in the fridge for up to 5 days. Sprinkle some water over top then reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
Freeze for up to 3 months in a container or Ziploc. Defrost in the fridge overnight or reheat from frozen for 5-7 minutes.
