Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with some salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Then, heat up the olive oil using the ‘saute’ function of your instant pot.
- When the oil is hot, saute the Brazilian Sofrito until fragrant, about 2 mins.
- Add the chicken, and brown both sides – about a minute per side.
- Then add the stock, close the pan, and set the instant pot to 25 mins on manual, and let it cook.
- After 25 mins, safely release the pressure, turn off and open the pan when you are able.
- Using a wooden spoon, “smash” the cooked chicken to shred it.
- Drain the stock (you can save it for to use another time), and let the chicken cool to room temperature.
- While the chicken cools, add the veggies to a large bowl, set aside.
- Add the mayo, the olive oil, vinegar and mustard to a small bowl, and whisk to combine.
- Combine the cooled chicken with the veggies and dress with the mayo mixture.
- Serve with salad greens topped with potato sticks or chips for crunch.
Bom Apetite!!
