Instant Pot Salsa Verde Chicken Bowls (5 Trader Joe’s Ingredients)
- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 10
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 12 0z jar of Salsa Verde
- 1 bag of Mexican Style Roasted Corn with Cotija Cheese (freezer section)
- Jasmine Rice (freezer section)
- 1 Avocado
- Salt + Pepper
Optional Add-in’s:
- Cilantro, as garnish
- Limes, for serving
Instructions
- To make the chicken: Season chicken really well with salt and pepper then add to your instant pot (or crockpot). Pour Salsa verde on top and make sure that chicken is fully coated. Secure lid, set valve to “sealing” and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- When cook time is up, carefully release pressure, remove the lid, and then transfer the chicken breasts to your stand mixer to shred (*see notes) Once shredded, add back to pot and toss around with salsa.
- To assemble the bowls: add rice, corn, shredded chicken, and avocado to each bowl. Option to garnish with cilantro and lime. Enjoy!!
Notes:
How to shred chicken in your stand mixer: This is the only way to shred chicken in my opinion!! Simply add cooked chicken to your stand mixer with the paddle attachment and shred on low speed until it is shredded to your liking! So easy!!
