Ingredients

• 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)
• 2 cups salsa
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tsp creole seasoning

Instructions

1. Place chicken in instant pot. Season with creole seasoning.
2. Mix salsa and water together. Pour over chicken.
3. Cover with lid and seal valve. Cook on Manual for 20 minutes. If chicken is frozen, cook on manual for 25 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 15 minutes to come to pressure before it starts to count down.
4. Let it naturally release pressure for about 5 minutes once it is done. Remove lid and shred chicken.
5. Press off and then saute for about 5 minutes to let shredded chicken sit in sauce some more.
6. This mixture can be used for enchiladas, tacos, taquitos, etc.
   *This makes enough chicken for a few recipes.
