    Instant Pot Taco Chicken...quick and easy and ready in no time!!! Find it all on 5 Dollar Dinners!

    Shredded chicken – it’s a staple for many different meals. And it’s also simple and easy enough to use as a meal by itself. This shredded chicken is leveled with a little salsa and homemade taco seasoning and then the Instant Pot takes care of the flavor infusing and making for a rich, delicious shredded chicken.

    You could make this with all boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or half breasts-half thighs, or all boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I personally prefer the half-half combo – it’s got just the right depth of flavor! So I’ve written it as such below – but you’ll want about 2 lbs. chicken total! Enjoy!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
