Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 8 count small corn tortillas
  • 0.5 cup sour cream optional, for topping
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Turn the Instant Pot to saute mode and heat olive oil. Add chicken breasts and brown each side for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove chicken breasts and set aside. Pour chicken broth into the pot and scrape any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Add taco seasoning mix to broth and stir well. Place chicken breasts back into the pot.
  • Secure the lid, set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 10 minutes, then allow natural release for 5 minutes.
  • Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the pot to mix with sauce.
  • Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Assemble tacos with shredded chicken, sour cream, cheese, and cilantro.

Notes

For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to your tacos.
