My friend Pam told me about this recipe and I’ve modified it just a bit, but it is so wonderful to throw a few things together and have a great meal for my wife and kids after a hard day. Simply add chicken breast to your Instant Pot with Taco Seasoning (I make my own) and a Ranch Packet along with one can of Rotel (I added this, but you could certainly omit) and 1 cup of chicken broth. (If you omit the Rotel then add 1 more cup of broth). Cook for 25 minutes at high pressure. Vent, shred and serve. The chicken is even great on its own!
