Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions
- Use the saute function of the Instant Pot, when the oil is hot add onions, saute until almost translucent, then add the garlic. Add chicken breast and salsa. Cook on high on the manual setting for 20 minutes. Perform a quick release on the Instant Pot. Remove chicken and shred.
Slow cooker Instructions
- If you want to use a slow cooker you will need to saute the onions and garlic in a large skillet, then transfer the sauteed garlic and onions to the slow cooker. Add the chicken and salsa to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
Notes
- Chicken too dry? Make sure to keep some of the cooking liquid when storing
- Not enough flavor? Try a spicier salsa or add taco seasoning
- Too watery? After shredding, return to the Instant Pot on sauté mode to reduce liquid
- Chicken not shredding easily? Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes under pressure
