HOW TO MAKE SALSA VERDE CHICKEN
MAKING SALSA VERDE CHICKEN IN THE INSTANT POT
STEP ONE:
STEP TWO: Add your seasonings, onion and garlic.
STEP THREE: Cook your chicken on poultry setting, about 24-26 minutes. If your chicken breasts are frozen just add a few minutes.
DO I NATURAL RELEASE THE CHICKEN?
I always try to allow enough time in my cooking schedule to have time to natural release my meats. This helps ensure the meat is pull apart tender and shred-able. However, if you don have time to natural release and need to quick release the chicken it should be all the way cooked through. Just use a thermometer to double check.
STEP 4: SHRED CHICKEN
WHEN DO I ADD THE SOUR CREAM?

- Serve warm in burritos with grilled corn and rice, in taquitos, or quesadillas. I love it over a salad. This is a hard recipe to mess up. Feel free to add more or less of your favorite flavors. I tend to be heavy on the lemon and cumin because I just can't get enough of them!
PRESSURE COOKER: If salsa is really thick thin down with 1/2 cup of water to ensure there is enough liquid in pot for pressure.

I love this recipe! I’ve made it twice and it’s always tasty!
Instead of Using Verde sauce, can I just use fresh tomatillos?
Hi Nicole, I’ve never tried with fresh tomatillos. If you do, I image you would want to add your own seasoning. The great thing about using verde sauce is that it’s seasoned! Just makes life easy!
Do you put the salsa in crockpot?
Everything except sour cream right in the crockpot. Set it and forget it. You can top with more salsa after it’s prepared as well!
Whats the serving size? I want to tRy making this Recipe for 5 people and wondering how many chicken breasts i should use. Thanks!
If you are making it for 5 adults I would probably double the recipe!
Hello! This looks yummy and easy. However, was there possibly a glitch when posting? There’s no number of tablespoons for the lemon juice, and for the salsa, the ingredient says 1/2 + C. Help! Thanks,
Thanks for catching that Cheryl, there was a glitch in the recipe card.
This looks delish! I’m making it for dinner tonight!!
