Author Brenda Bennett/Sugar-Free Mom

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons chili powder- optional
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup salsa

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, onion, cumin, salt, pepper and optional chili powder. Rub this all over both sides of each chicken thigh.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the instant pot. Add all the chicken thighs to the pot. Pour the salsa over the chicken.
  • Cover the lid of the Instant pot and make sure it is set to "sealing". Press the "poultry" button and set timer for 12 minutes. Once it beeps, use a long wooden spoon to prevent steam burning your finger, switch to "venting" and the Instant Pot will quick release.
  • Uncover and shred the chicken thighs using two forks and stir together with the broth and salsa and serve.
