Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Select the saute function on the Instant Pot. Coat the bottom of the pot with olive oil. Once hot, add your onion and garlic to the pot and saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Select cancel, then transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a high powered blender or food processor.
  • To the blender, add diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, chili powder, oregano, ground cumin, chicken bouillon, salt, and chicken broth. Pulse until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce into the Instant Pot, then place the chicken on top. Secure the lid. Cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. Use a quick release.
  • Carefully remove the lid and take out the chicken. Shred your chicken using two forks or with a hand mixer. Return the chicken back to the pot and stir so it absorbs the sauce.
  • Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or in tortillas and enjoy!
