Steps:
- Directions Using the browning/saute setting, add heat olive oil. Cook the onion garlic, cumin and chili powder until softened-- about 3 minutes.

When timer beeps, turn off and use a quick pressure release. Check and make sure the chicken is cooked to 165°. Preheat the broiler and spray a small casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken in the dish. Select sauté and cook sauce, stirring frequently until sauce is desire consistency. Spoon sauce over chicken. NOTES: Be sure to check the temperature of the chicken. I had to cook mine for about five more minutes. The chicken breasts were large and frozen. If using thawed chicken, reduce the time by about five minutes. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese on top of the chicken and sauce, put the dish in the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, about five minutes, but watch it carefully. Garnish with cilantro and sliced green onion. Extra delicious served with rice.

Steps:
- Equipment needed: pressure cooker (this recipe could be adapted to a slow cooker or a conventional stove top. I will do my best to suggest how to adapt it, at the end of the directions. For now, I'm going to explain how I made this with an electric pressure cooker. A stovetop pressure cooker would use the same technique and times.) Using the brown/sear feature (or on medium-high on a stove), heat about 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering. Cook the chopped onion until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spices, salt & pepper, stir to combine for about 1 minutes. Add the salsa, tomato sauce, tomato paste and lime juice, and stir. Nestle the frozen chicken* into the sauce. Cover and lock the lid on and pressure cook, on high, for 12 minutes. When timer beeps, turn off and use a quick pressure release. Check and make sure the chicken is cooked to 165°F. *If using thawed chicken, reduce the cooking time to 7 minutes. If using a slow cooker, prepare the sauce on the stovetop. I don't recommend using frozen chicken for a slow cooker, so only use thawed chicken. Pour the sauce over the chicken and slow-cook for about 6 hours. Preheat your broiler with the rack set two levels down, from the top. Place the chicken in an oven-proof dish Add half the fresh cilantro into the sauce and stir; spoon the sauce over the chicken. I admit, that I don't measure my cheese. I tend to smother mine with cheese, so use as you wish. Place the chicken under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling and melted, about 5 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with sour cream and green onion. Side dish serving suggestion: brown rice or black beans. To make this in a conventional way, I would suggest using only thawed chicken and searing it on each side. In a deep pan, I would make the sauce, then nestled the seared chicken into it, cover it and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken registers at 165°F. Proceed with the directions on setting it in a baking dish and broiling the cheese.
PRESSURE-COOKER TEQUILA SALSA CHICKEN
I had this dish at a local Mexican restaurant when celebrating a friend's birthday. I fell in love with the spicy, smoky flavor from the tequila and decided to try Instant Pot salsa chicken at home. Boy, was it a success! It's also great stuffed into flour tortillas or for making nachos. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

PRESSURE COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN
This warming, satisfying stew takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, thanks to the pressure cooker, which makes quick work of braising chicken and melding flavors. Use your favorite jarred green salsa as a shortcut: The salsa mingles with the chicken juices to make a thick, tangy sauce that tastes like more than the sum of its parts. (Jarred salsas vary in heat levels, so be sure to taste yours first. Make the dish spicier by leaving some of the jalapeño seeds in.) Serve the chicken over rice or whole grains, which soak up the sauce, or use the chicken in tacos, burritos or enchiladas. You can also add one cup of frozen or fresh corn, or a drained 15-ounce can of black or pinto beans to the cooked chicken and simmer until just warmed through. Pass around toppings like crunchy pepitas, tortilla chips, crumbled queso fresco or avocado, to customize at will.

Steps:
- Add the chicken, salsa verde, canned chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin to a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker; stir to combine. (Don't add salt yet, as many jarred salsas are high in sodium.) Close the lid and turn the pressure knob to sealed. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. If you would like to reduce the sauce, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl and turn on the simmer function; let the sauce bubble for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken. Add the chicken back into the pot if you have removed it. Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Taste, and season with salt and lime juice.
- Serve in bowls, alone or with rice, or in tortillas, with desired toppings.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This recipe calls for a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, but you can use any type of cheese that you like. Some other good options include mozzarella, Parmesan, or pepper Jack cheese.
- Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through, but it should not be dry. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality salsa. The salsa is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality salsa. Look for a salsa that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good flavor.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite toppings. This recipe is great served with rice, beans, or tortillas. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or Pico de Gallo.
Conclusion:
This Cheesy Salsa Chicken with Lime Pressure Cooker Style is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful salsa and lime sauce, and it is topped with a gooey cheese blend. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
