Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Tortillas

Directions

  1. Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  2. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and add the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  3. Add the chicken broth, lime juice, cilantro, and diced onion to the Instant Pot. Close and lock the lid, and turn the valve to “sealing”. Cook on the “manual” setting for 10 minutes.
  4. Once the cooking cycle is complete, turn the valve to “venting” to release the pressure. When the pressure has been released, open the lid. Use two forks to shred the chicken. Serve with warm tortillas.
