Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb chicken breasts
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp taco seasoning
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup chopped cilantro (divided)
corn tortillas
diced red onion
Lettuce
Coleslaw mix/chopped cabbage
Shredded cheese
salsa
sour cream
Diced avocado
Diced tomatoes
Pickled jalapenos

Steps:

  • Dump all ingredients for chicken in Instant Pot, adding half of the cilantro and saving the other half for after. Add raw chicken breasts last. Set to manual and pressure cook on high for 3 minutes (add 2 more minutes if using larger breasts).
  • Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to pre-heat and then the 3 minutes to cook. When complete, press cancel and do a quick release of the steam, waiting until the pressure gauge drops back down and the lid is safe to open.
  • Remove lid and chicken breasts. Shred with two forks. Add back to Instant Pot sauce along with the remaining half of the fresh cilantro. Stir well until everything is combined. Chicken will be sitting in extra liquid so use a slotted spoon to serve.
  • Add chicken to warm corn tortillas along with toppings of your choice. Serve and enjoy!
