Savory salsa chicken made effortlessly in an Instant Pot.
This salsa chicken Instant Pot recipe makes an easy weeknight meal even easier. Frozen chicken breasts are combined with taco seasoning and salsa for a tasty Mexican-themed meal. You can use the meat for tacos, burrito bowls, or as a topping for baked potatoes. So many possibilities! I used this the first night for chicken quesadillas. The second night I used it as a topping for baked potatoes with shredded cheese, pickled jalapeños, and sour cream.
