Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup salsa of choice (I use Trader Joe's Hatch Valley Salsa or Salsa Verde)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Toppings of choice: sliced green onions, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, hot sauce
  • Corn chips for serving

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

  1. Prep the chicken first: Place the salsa in an Instant Pot, then place the chicken breasts in the salsa. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Place the lid on the Instant Pot (valve set to sealed), and pressure cook on manual for about 12 minutes. Release the steam valve and check to make sure your chicken is done, then place the chicken and juices in a bowl to shred. I use my KitchenAid stand mixer with paddle attachment to shred the chicken, but you could use a fork, knife, food processor (just don’t overprocess) or any other tool you’d like. Place the shredded chicken with any juices back into the Instant Pot.
  2. Add all other ingredients (with the exception of the toppings and the corn chips) to the Instant Pot and give it a stir. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealed. Put the setting on Soup/Broth for about 20 minutes. When finished, release the steam valve. Serve immediately or leave it in the Instant Pot on warming until ready to eat.
  3. Top soup with toppings of choice and corn chips on the side.
