Description

Adapted from a family favourite slow-cooker recipe for the Instant Pot and to incorporate some plant based protein! This is my go-to taco recipe when entertaining as it requires minimal prep work, or dishes! Leftovers taste great on top of rice.


Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
ยฝ cup dried green lentils
โ…“ cup of water
1 onion, diced
1 can tomatillo (green) salsa (depending on how liduidy the salsa is, you may need to add some additional water for the pressure cooker up to pressure)
8 Corn tortillas
Your favourite taco toppings

Instructions

1. Add the chicken, lentils, onion and water into the instant pot. Add the salsa last so it covers everything.ย 
ย 
2. Cook on manual for 15 minutes.ย Let the instant pot naturally vent for 10-15 minutes, then shred the chicken.

3. Serve on warm corn tortillas with your desired toppings.
