Ingredients
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce*
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 2 lbs chicken breast or thighs
Instructions
- Select the saute function on the Instant Pot. Once hot, coat the bottom of the pot with oil. Toss in onion and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes, or until fragrant. Select cance. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a high powered blender or food processor. Clean the bottom of the pot (this helps to prevent a burn signal).
- Now add the diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, ground cumin, salt, and chicken broth to the onion/garlic in the blender. Pulse until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into the Instant Pot. Add the chicken, and secure the lid. Select manual (or high pressure) and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. Use a quick release.
- Once steam has been completely released, remove the lid and take out the chicken. Dice or shred using a fork and knife. Return the chicken back to the pot. At this point you can select cancel, and let the sauce cool and thicken. Or serve immediately.
- Serve with rice or cauliflower rice, or tortillas. Top with tomatoes, avocado, onion, or fresh cilantro.
Notes
*If you are unable to find Whole30 compliant chipotle peppers, use 2 tsp chipotle spice powder in place of the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce.
