  • 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • juice of 1 lime

  • Instructions

    1. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and heat olive oil, then add diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until soft.

    2. Stir in ground cumin, chili powder, corn kernels, black beans, and salsa and cook for a minute to bloom the spices.

    3. Add chicken breasts and pour in chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, then secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

    4. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then quick-release remaining pressure and remove and shred the chicken.
