Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Serving Size 6 -8

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup homemade pineapple salsa
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks in it's own natural juices- drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon Slap Ya' Mama or other cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  • MAKE SURE YOUR POT LINER IS IN YOUR INSTANT POT!
  • Place all ingredients into the pot liner of your Instant Pot.
  • Close and lock the lid, and turn the vent to closed position.
  • Place on High Manual Pressure for 12 minutes, and allow to NPR.
  • Once depressurized, open the vent to ensure that all pressure has been released. 
  • Pull out the chicken breasts onto a plate or cutting board, and shred with forks. Once the chicken is shredded, add it back into your IP. Let it set for a couple of minutes to marinate in that pineapple yumminess!

Notes

  • Please note that some models of the Instant Pot does NOT give you control over High or low pressure settings. Some are automatically set to high.
  • If you are using frozen chicken, it will take longer to come to pressure. Also, add an additional 5 minutes of cooking time on to it.
  • You can cook your rice in the pineapple chicken broth that's in your IP! It will make it so flavorful. 
  • I used a 6qt Instant Pot, and it took about 9-10 minutes to come to pressure.
