I had this dish at a local Mexican restaurant when celebrating a friend's birthday. I fell in love with the spicy, smoky flavor from the tequila and decided to try Instant Pot salsa chicken at home. Boy, was it a success! It's also great stuffed into flour tortillas or for making nachos. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Ingredients

  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1/4 cup tequila
  • Hot cooked rice
  • Optional toppings: Avocado slices, chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges

Directions

  1. Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken breasts; place in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Combine salsa and tequila; pour over chicken. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 6 minutes.
    Quick-release pressure. A thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 165°.
