You are going to love this super easy healthy chicken tacos pressure cooker recipe. I took my old Crockpot Chicken Tacos Recipe and converted it to a pressure cooker recipe for those nights that you completely forgot that you had to make dinner. I mean… why do the kids want to eat every single night, right?
No thawing needed at all! It is so easy to make and your family is going to love it!
Ingredients:
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of salsa (we used picante)
- 1 Tablespoon of Taco Seasoning (we use our Homemade Taco Seasoning)
- 1/2 cup of water
Now you will need an electric pressure cooker for this recipe. I personally have an Instant Pot and so far I am loving it. You can find the Instant pot on sale here.
I seriously do love it. However, there are other great electric pressure cookers that will work great for this recipe too. You can find them all on sale here.
Directions to make Healthy Chicken Tacos:
- Place chicken (frozen) in the instant pot.

- Do the quick release to relase the pressusre.
- Remove the chicken and shred.
- Return to the instant pot and stir.

Jeremy says
So you just double if you add more chicken?
Carrie says
yes!
Carla says
How long do you cook for chicken that has been thawed?
Carrie says
Carla, I would start out at about the 13 minute range. I have had good luck with that for my larger instant pot. I do like mine a bit more tender and easier to shred. Let me know how it turns out. thanks so much
Christine says
What about chicken tenders? How would you recommend cooking them?
Lindsay says
I used 6 large chicken breasts and at 20 minutes they were still frozen together in spots. I would do at least 45 minutes for large frozen breasts when there are 6 or so.
Carrie says
You could do 10 minutes.
