Instant Pot Chicken Tinga

Instant Pot Chicken Tinga is ridiculously flavor-packed and takes just 10 minutes of hands-on time. It is a super-convenient weeknight meal that makes a frequent appearance on my meal prep menu. 

I like to use it to make Chicken Tinga Tacos and empanadas or serve it over cauliflower rice. Want to make this in your Instant Pot? I've got instructions for that too!

Arrow

– 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs – Salt and pepper – 1 tablespoon olive oil – ½ cup chopped onion – 1 teaspoon minced garlic – 1 teaspoon dried oregano – ½ teaspoon ground cumin – ½ teaspoon smoked paprika – 2 chipotle peppers in adobo finely chopped – 1 tablespoon adobo sauce – ¾ cup diced tomatoes – ½ cup chicken broth

– Set your Instant Pot to saute'. Heat the oil in the Instant pot and add the onion.  Cook for 6 minutes, and then add the garlic, seasonings, peppers, tomatoes, and broth.

Arrow

– Add the chicken to the pot and toss to coat. – Place the lid on the pressure cooker, and set to seal.  Cook for 13 minutes, and then do a quick release.  (I recommend using either an oven mitt or thick dish towel.)
