Instant Pot Chicken Tacos (Pressure Cooker)
Instant Pot Chicken Tacos are made by cooking boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a pressure cooker with taco seasoning, chicken broth, and salsa. The chicken becomes tender enough to shred and absorbs the seasoning flavors. The resulting shredded filling can be served in taco shells or tortillas with various fresh toppings for a customizable meal.
