Step 1

Place chicken breast in the Instant Pot

Step 2

Pour salsa over chicken and sprinkle with smoked paprika.

Step 3

Use a spoon or fork to gently make sure the salsa is coating the top and bottom of the chicken. (A few stirs should do the trick!)

Step 4

Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and check that the pressure valve is set to SEALING (not VENTING).

Step 5

Select MANUAL PRESSURE and set timer for 10 minutes.

Step 6

(It will take 12-14 minutes or so for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, then 10 minutes to cook)

Step 7

After the chicken has cooked 10 minutes, allow the pressure to naturally release 10-12 minutes, then quick-release any remaining steam (this should only take 1-2 min.)

Step 8

Shred the chicken with two forks (or a hand mixer!) and stir in cilantro.

Step 9

Taste chicken and season with additional salt, if desired.
