Instant Pot Green Enchilada Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 2 cups of salsa Verde
- 1 cup green enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Mexican blended shredded cheese, divided into 1 cup
- 10 white corn tortillas, cut into strips
Optional Toppings: Sour cream, cilantro, avocado chunks, shredded cheese, jalapeños, hot sauce, etc.
Simple Directions:
- Pour the salsa verde and enchilada sauce into your Instant Pot. Place your chicken breast on top.
- Add the Instant Pot lid, and close the valve.
- Set your Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once the 10 minutes is done, allow your Instant Pot to naturally
release for about 10 more minutes. Once that is complete, manually release by pulling the valve towards you to open the pressure. Make sure to use a towel or hot pad to protect your hands from the steam. - Using two forks or a hand mixer, shred your chicken inside your Instant Pot with the liquid.
- Add to the Instant Pot add 1 cup of the cheese, mix well.
- Fold in the corn tortilla strips, mix well.
- Finish by adding the remaining cheese to your Instant Pot.
