This was delicious and super easy. I had twice the amount of chicken, and it only took 30 minutes. I've posted the recipe as written. Recipe courtesy of Domestic Superhero.

Ingredients
  

  • 24 ounces salsa
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning mix
  • 1 lime, juice of, and zested
  • 1/4 cup water or 1/4 cup stock
  • 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (I left the skins on, and mine weren't boneless)
  • fresh cilantro, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Using at least a 6 quart instant pot, add all ingredients to the chicken into the pot except cilantro.
  • Close lid and seal the pressure valve, then set on manual/high for 15 minutes.
  • When time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Then manually release the rest of the pressure by flipping the valve. Remove lid.
  • Shred the chicken breast (either remove and shred or shred in pot using 2 forks). Then add the cilantro into the pot and stir everything together to coat.
  • Serve with rice or flour/corn tortillas, quinoa, limes, and colby jack cheese.
