No reviews

The Instant Pot adobo chicken is spicy, tender, and shredded in about twenty minutes. It is the taco filling I make every summer on our family beach vacation, and it always disappears fast.

  • Total Time: 50
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 to 8 boneless skinless frozen or fresh Chicken Breasts (or 8 to 10 chicken tenders)
  • 4 Garlic whole
  • 1 cup of Salsa
  • 1/2 can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (whole can if you like it spicy)
  • 1 TLB Chili Powder
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Cilantro
  • Other Taco toppings
  • Taco shells, soft or hard

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken, garlic, salsa, chipotle peppers, chili powder, salt, and pepper in the electric pressure cooker.
  2. Lock the lid and set the valve to seal.
  3. Set the timer for 20 minutes.
  4. Let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken and shred with two forks.
  6. Chop and set out all the taco toppings.
  7. Serve the shredded chicken in tacos with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  1. Lower the garlic and chili powder for a milder chicken.
  2. Stick to one can of Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. The pressure cooker intensifies the heat, so doubling the peppers makes this very spicy.
  3. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  4. Prep time 15 minutes, cook time 20 minutes, total time 50 minutes, yields 10 servings.
