Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Taco Meat is made with just a few simple ingredients but packs tons of flavor and is done in about 25 minutes.

The easiest and most flavorful chicken taco meat made in the instant pot (or slow cooker) with chicken breast or thigh meat to turn Taco Tuesday into something to celebrate! Seriously – so much flavor, so fast. What’s not to love?! Chicken taco meat is something that I love to throw in the mix when we get tired of our standard ground beef tacos. This recipe is one of my favorites because it’s full of flavor thanks to chipotle sauce and it’s so simple – anyone could throw it together. Long live eating all the tacos! And fun fact, you can cook your corn on the cob to serve with (or on the tacos) right along with the chicken. Instructions follow.

I could write a whole lot about tacos because you know I love them. I love me some easy chicken tacos (think food truck), lentil tacos, and crispy pork tacos (made in the Instant Pot). There’s just something magical about wrapping up really flavorful food in a warm tortilla and slathering it with all the guacamole and salsa it can hold. Why is it so good?!

You know what else I love? My Instant Pot!

I contacted the folks at Instant Pot a while ago to see if we could work together. It was their busy season and I didn’t hear anything back so I just purchased two Duo 8 Quart Instant Pots so that I could start using them in my kitchen and develop recipes for you all. I have LOVED them. I have a few kitchen gadgets, but my Instant Pot gets used as much as my slow cooker and blender which is really saying something. It makes perfect hard boiled eggs (even from my fresh backyard chicken eggs which are normally a nightmare to peel), I use it to cook beans in bulk (and then freeze them for later use), and I love to make broths and stocks in it. It is awesome.

The folks at Instant Pot got back to me and I asked them if they would give away an Instant Pot to one of the readers here at Bless this Mess and they said YES!

YOU GUYS, you can win an Instant Pot! Keep reading!

Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Taco Meat is made with just a few simple ingredients but packs tons of flavor and is done in about 25 minutes.

Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Taco Meat Tips and Tricks:

  • You can make this in the slow cooker by combining all the ingredients together and letting them cook on low for 5-6 hours until the chicken is tender and ready to be shredded.
  • My tiny store carries the chipotle sauce, so I think it will be easy for you to find. It’s delicious! Here’s what you are looking for. We didn’t find this recipe to be overly spicy. If you’d like more heat, add more of the chipotle sauce! Double the amount if you’d like it hotter.
  • I prefer to use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe because I think they stay more tender and moist. It did work great with chicken breast too, though, so use what you have on hand.
  • You can use all kinds of salsa for this recipe and that really changes the taste! I used a homemade green salsa I made and froze last summer in one batch and it was awesome. I also tried it with store-bought chunky traditional salsa and with homemade cooked and canned salsa. Use your favorite – you can’t go wrong.

You can cook corn on the cob along with the chicken in the Instant Pot!

I love corn on the cob with or on tacos, and you can cook it along with the chicken in this recipe. You’ll want to prepare the recipe as directed but set the cook time on the Instant pot to 12 minutes. Then do a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully open the lid and place in your cobs with the husks removed. Replace the lid and set the cook time to 2 minutes. Do a quick pressure release again and when you can remove the lid, remove the corn, set aside, and continue with the chicken recipe. How easy is that? It adds a few minutes to the prep time as you have to wait for the Instant Pot to come down from pressure twice, but you don’t have to get another pot dirty to cook the corn!

Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Taco Meat is made with just a few simple ingredients but packs tons of flavor and is done in about 25 minutes.

Description

Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Taco Meat is made with just a few simple ingredients but packs tons of flavor and is done in about 25 minutes.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breast
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons chipotle sauce
  • 1 cup prepared mild salsa

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken to the insert of your instant pot.
  2. Sprinkle the salt, cumin, and garlic powder over the chicken. Add the chipotle sauce and the salsa.
  3. Use tongs to combine and mix the ingredients well, covering the chicken on all sides.
  4. Lock the lid in place, make sure the vent is set to seal, and select high pressure and 15 minute cook time.
  5. When the cooking time ends, use the quick pressure release. When the valve drops, remove the lid carefully.
  6. Use tongs to remove the chicken and place in a shallow dish or bowl and shred it.
  7. While you are shredding the chicken, turn the instant pot to the saute setting and allow the remaining liquid in the pot to come to a boil.
  8. Let the liquid simmer for around 5 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
  9. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot, turn off the Instant Pot, and stir to combine well.
  10. Serve with your favorite taco toppings, in a salad, on nachos, in enchiladas, or however you like best.

Notes

  • You can make this in the slow cooker by combining all the ingredients together and letting them cook on low for 5-6 hours until the chicken is tender and ready to be shredded.
  • My tiny store carries the chipotle sauce, so I think it will be easy for you to find. It’s delicious!
  • I prefer to use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe because I think they stay more tender and moist. It did work great with chicken breast too, though, so use what you have on hand.

    I love my Instant Pot!!!! Last night I made banana bread steel cut oats in it. Today, the oats went into the freeze dryer I have access to for backpacking breakfasts. Beans, rice and hard boiled eggs are my favorite things to cook in it, they always come out perfect. PS….I am not entering to win….just stopped by to say…Instant Pots are the bomb!!!

    An Instant Pot has been on my wishlist now for over a year. I would love to be able to cook perfect beans and lentils from scratch, but I always make them either too hard or too mushy on the stove, and I think a pressure cooker might be the answer to all my problems!

    I have a 6 quart Duo Plus & a 3 quart Duo. I love them both. I don’t really have a favorite thing to make in either of them except maybe yogurt or rice since the both turn out perfect. I made chicken noodle soup tonight in the mini but it was filled to the maximum. I love how easy baked & mashed potatoes are & I love making 2 & even 3 things at once using pot-in-pot with the 6 quart.

    I love my IP so much I’ve been thinking about buying another one! My favorite IP recipe so far has been a chicken cauliflower masala. My whole family gobbled it up (which is amazing, because with this many people, there’s usually at least one who doesn’t like dinner.)
    I’m not sure how I’ve known you all this time but never really delved into your blog until a few weeks ago, but I’ve been missing out! I made your green enchilada sauce recently and passed the recipe on to my mom. Might have to combine that sauce with these tacos sometime soon.

    I have the 6qt pot. My favorite things to make in it are black beans, rice (white, brown, wild), pulled pork, whole chickens for shredded chicken, chicken broth. The 8 qt would be great for making bigger batches for freezing.

    I love my instatnt pot! I got one in November and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve cooked without it. Mine is small so a bigger one would be awesome.

    I will definitely try today’s recipe in the crock pot. I remember picking fresh sweet corn and eating it the same day. There was nothing better. I’ve never had an instant pot but I did have an old pressure cooker that had a weight hooked on top and when the weight jiggled hard enough you had to remove it from the burner. I wonder how many injuries came from those? Any way if I had one I would try Hungarian goulash with it. I will be sharing this chicken recipe with my daughter.

    Yes, I do have an instant pot. Smaller than the duo. I love how well the can make delicious bbq pulled pork in no time flat. It is so good and tender every time. I would love to try this recipe you have shared with us. It looks so good! I will give my mom my smaller pot if I win this. She lives alone so smaller works better for her. It’s an 8 quart. She has been wanting one. I would love to share with her. I pinned this recipe and shared it on my face book. I don’t know how to do what you asked about the pin here? In comment? I hope the part I did was enough since I’m not sure. I am going to send link to some friends as well. Thank you.

    Hi Melissa..I don’t have an instant pot, but the recipe sounds great! However I wanted to reply to your comment on peeling fresh boiled eggs. Once they are done, you shake the eggs in the pan with a lid on it so you don’t get burned and the shells are either already off or slip right off even on fresh eggs. I was surprised how well this works. What a time saver!
