  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup salsa of choice: regular or salsa verde

  • Add in 1 cup of salsa.
  • Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button, and the + or - button to select 20 minutes on high pressure.

Notes

Slow Cooker Directions:
Place chicken breasts in the insert of a slow cooker and cover with salsa.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred with two forks.
Stovetop Directions: 
Place chicken breasts into a pot and pour in enough water to cover the chicken.
Place over medium heat, bring to a boil, and simmer until chicken meat is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer chicken breasts to a bowl, allow to cool slightly, and shred the chicken meat with 2 forks!
