- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

For the Tortilla Chips
- 8 inch corn flour tortillas

Instructions
For the Chicken Tortilla Soup
- Turn the Instant Pot on [SAUTE] mode and set it for 10 minutes (this should give you enough time to saute the onions). Wait until the screen displays "hot". Add olive oil and onion into the pot. Stir occasionally for 3 minutes until the onion is soft. Then, press the [CANCEL] button.
- Add garlic, chicken broth, and stir. Then, add 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of diced green chilies, 1 can of black beans, 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely diced), and 1 cup frozen corn kernels. Place the chicken breast on top of the ingredients. Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add ground cumin and ground chili pepper on top of the chicken.
- Close the lid. Make sure the knob on the lid is turned to the "sealing" position. Then, press [PRESSURE COOK] (or "manual" for older models) and set it to 11 minutes. When it is done, let it naturally pressure release for 5 minutes. **Cooking time and tips for chicken thighs or frozen chicken breasts below**
- Shred chicken with two forks (either right in the pot, or on a cutting board)
- Add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Topping Ideas: tortillas chips, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro
For the Tortilla Chips
- Cut the corn tortillas into thin strips, drizzle olive oil and season with sea salt
- Place it in the oven at 350°F until crisp
Notes
- This recipe was tested with a 6-quart Instant Pot DUO
- If you're using:
- THIN CHICKEN BREASTS: decrease the pressure cooking time to 6-8 minutes. Chicken breasts have the tendency to dry out very easily. It might be best not to use thin pieces of chicken breasts.
- FROZEN CHICKEN BREAST: increase the pressure cooking time to 12 minutes. Let it naturally release pressure for 10 minutes.
- CHICKEN THIGHS: increase the pressure cooking time to 14 minutes. Do not add corn and black beans until after it is done pressure cooking or else it will turn into mush. After it is done pressure cooking, take the chicken out, press [SAUTE] for 3 minutes to cook the corn and beans while you're shredding the chicken.
