Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 jar Salsa, gluten-free
1-2 pounds Chicken Breasts, boneless skinless
1-2 limes, 1 sliced, 1 zested

Steps:

  • Place your chicken breasts in the bottom of your pressure cooker or your slower cooker.
  • Pour the jar of salsa overtop of the chicken breasts.
  • Follow your pressure cooker instructions for fresh "chicken" as pressure cookers do vary (usually between 10-20 minutes of cooking). (I haven't had to place any extra liquid in my pressure cooker for this recipe!) Once your pressure cooker is done cooking, gently pull apart the chicken breasts with a fork and stir to recombine the chicken with the delicious salsa liquids. Squeeze a generous amount of fresh lime juice over the chicken and sprinkle with fresh lime zest.
  • Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for about 4 hours. Gently pull apart the chicken breasts with a fork if the chicken hasn't fallen apart on it's own already and stir to recombine the chicken with the delicious salsa liquids. Squeeze a generous amount of fresh lime juice over the chicken and sprinkle with fresh lime zest.

PRESSURE-COOKED SALSA VERDE PORK AND RICE



Pressure-Cooked Salsa Verde Pork and Rice image

Make weekly meal prep a breeze with this pressure cooker pork and rice. This recipe uses the Pot-in-Pot (PIP) method, which cooks the pork and rice in separate bowls at the same time. The pork turns out so tender! I like to freeze individual servings and take one out the night before. Top with queso fresco or sour cream when ready to serve.
