This Instant Pot Salsa Chicken is the perfect first meal for you to prepare in your instant pot. Two ingredients is all you need for this simple dish. It is not short on flavor so be prepared to fall in love.
This salsa chicken may be my boys new favorite. It definitely is one of my new favorites. This is such an easy recipe with just 2 main ingredients, salsa and chicken. The chicken is so tender and I was able to shred the meat with two forks. This dish could not be any simpler to whip up, making this a perfect weeknight meal.
You can also prepare this to be used for some easy meal prep. You can use the chicken for tacos, chicken cheese quesadillas, salad and so much more. I like to keep some in the fridge so that my boys can quickly warm some up and make a quick soft taco to eat, rather than grabbing a handful of cookies.
There you have it.. chicken, salsa and a handful of spices.
If you love this recipe you will definitely love Crack Chicken. Another incredibly simple dish to prepare.
One of the easiest Instant Pot recipes to make. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
