Instant Pot Three-Ingredient Salsa Chicken

If you want to meal prep this weekend in preparation for your work week, this Instant Pot Three-Ingredient Salsa Chicken recipe is an excellent option. This is great in tacos and burritos, with rice and beans, cold on salad … it is just a great, tasty staple to have on hand and it is good for several days in the fridge. Plus, it freezes well.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, no worries! This can also be made in a slow cooker using the same method, just cook it on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.

For the ingredients, especially since there are only three, I used high-quality ingredients like organic chicken and Xochitl’s Chunky Salsa, which is so flavorful. And of course, be sure to double check that your taco seasoning is gluten-free. McCormick is a trusted, easy to find brand that makes gluten-free taco seasoning.
