Easy Salsa Chicken (Pressure Cooker or Slow Cooker)

This couldn’t be easier. Use your favorite salsa as a sauce to cook chicken breasts in and then shred them to make a delicious and fast Mexican-inspired main. I like to serve this with sour cream and a bit of cheese or guacamole.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken breasts or thighs
  • 13 ounces salsa store bought
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the chicken to the pressure cooker. Season generously with salt and pepper then pour in the salsa. Seal and cook on high for 20 minutes with natural release. Alternatively, you can cook this in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the breasts shred easily.
  • Shred with two forks (or transfer to a bowl and use a handheld mixer – it shreds it quickly). Adjust salt to taste and serve.
