Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 small garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (omit if you are sensitive to spice)
- 1 (28 ounce) can Muir Glen Crushed Fire Roasted Tomatoes
Method
Step 1
Set Instant Pot®t to saute function and add olive oil. Combine smoked paprika, salt, oregano, chili powder, cumin and cayenne in a small bowl and mix well. Season the chicken breast with half of the spice mixture and set the rest aside.
Step 2
Once seasoned, add the chicken to the Instant Pot® and cook for three minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside. Add the onion, garlic, and chopped chipotle peppers to the Instant Pot® and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add remaining spices and cook until fragrant, about one minute more.
Step 3
Add chipotle sauce (if using) and Muir Glen Crushed Fire Roasted Tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to pot and turn off sauté function.
Step 4
Add Instant Pot® lid and set vent to the close or sealing position. Set the Instant Pot® to the poultry setting. When cooking time is up, let pressure release naturally for 15 minutes before manually releasing the rest of the pressure.
Step 5
Once you are able to remove the lid, add chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Remove one cup of the sauce and reserve for serving. Add shredded chicken back into the pot and stir to combine.
Step 6
Serve in tacos, on top of nachos, or in a sandwich.
