Instant Pot Salsa Lime Chicken recipe is perfect for Tacos, Burritos, Nachos, and more. All it takes is 3 ingredients and can be used in a variety of dishes.
At the end of 2017, Instant Pot was the hottest kitchen item to have. Amazon sold out by morning on Cyber Monday. It was the present everyone couldn’t wait to open on Christmas.
Now that you have one, what are you going to make??? Like everyone else, I started with hard-boiled eggs and then moved on to rice and chicken. There were some recipes that were complete flops and some that were convenient and delicious.
My Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken Tacos are pretty regular in the dinner rotation. Now armed with an Instant Pot I decided to revamp that recipe for the Instant Pot and add some lime. Salsa Lime Chicken Instant Pot Recipe was born!
