Instructions

  • Season chicken all ingredients (except salsa and hatch chiles) and pour roasted salsa on top. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Quick release. Shred with two forks and serve with hatch chiles.
  • optional step: spread shredded chicken across a sheet pan in a 450 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the edges of the chicken start to brown.

Notes

Instead of using two forks try shredding your chicken in a kitchenaid stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Thank you Jade for the great idea!
