Ingredients
-
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
-
2 Tablespoons Moxie Taco Seasoning
-
1 Cup fresh chopped tomatoes
-
Your favorite taco shells & condiments
Directions
Add the chicken to the bottom of the Instapot. Arrange in a single layer (some overlap is ok)
Sprinkle the chicken with the Taco Seasoning.
Pour the tomatoes over the chicken, using a spoon to spread evenly.
- Place the lid on the Instapot and close the lid and make sure the release valve is in the seal position.
- Cook on high temperature for 9 minutes and then use the quick release method to reduce the steam.
Remove the chicken and shred using 2 forks. Use the meat on tacos, salads, or go crazy and just eat it out of the pot it’s so good!
You may use the liquid in the bottom of the Instapot as a sauce over the chicken for added flavor. Simply pour it over the shredded chicken. If there is a lot of liquid, you can turn your Instapot to the Sauté setting and let it boil for 3-5 minutes until the liquid is reduced by 1/2. Then pour the concentrated sauce over the chicken and enjoy with your favorite taco toppings!
