Pressure-Cooker Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Scoops

I came up with this recipe when I was preparing for a large party and wanted a healthy Tex-Mex chicken appetizer. The dish can be made ahead of time, and leftovers make for a tasty next-day burrito filling. —Lori Terry, Chicago, Illinois

    Great recipe, family loved it. Depending on the size of your breasts might want 8:30-9:00 on the timer to make sure they cook through. I put nothing frozen in the pot, had to cook the chicken lil' extra. Some of us used cut up celery instead of scoops to avoid the extra carbs and salt.
