PRESSURE-COOKER TEQUILA SALSA CHICKEN
I had this dish at a local Mexican restaurant when celebrating a friend's birthday. I fell in love with the spicy, smoky flavor from the tequila and decided to try Instant Pot salsa chicken at home. Boy, was it a success! It's also great stuffed into flour tortillas or for making nachos. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Place the chicken in the dish. Select sauté and cook sauce, stirring frequently until sauce is desire consistency. Spoon sauce over chicken. NOTES: Be sure to check the temperature of the chicken.

CHEESY SALSA CHICKEN WITH LIME, PRESSURE COOKER-STYLE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Equipment needed: pressure cooker (this recipe could be adapted to a slow cooker or a conventional stove top. I will do my best to suggest how to adapt it, at the end of the directions. For now, I'm going to explain how I made this with an electric pressure cooker. A stovetop pressure cooker would use the same technique and times.) Using the brown/sear feature (or on medium-high on a stove), heat about 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering. Cook the chopped onion until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spices, salt & pepper, stir to combine for about 1 minutes. Add the salsa, tomato sauce, tomato paste and lime juice, and stir. Nestle the frozen chicken* into the sauce. Cover and lock the lid on and pressure cook, on high, for 12 minutes. When timer beeps, turn off and use a quick pressure release. Check and make sure the chicken is cooked to 165°F. *If using thawed chicken, reduce the cooking time to 7 minutes. If using a slow cooker, prepare the sauce on the stovetop. I don't recommend using frozen chicken for a slow cooker, so only use thawed chicken. Pour the sauce over the chicken and slow-cook for about 6 hours. Preheat your broiler with the rack set two levels down, from the top. Place the chicken in an oven-proof dish Add half the fresh cilantro into the sauce and stir; spoon the sauce over the chicken. I admit, that I don't measure my cheese. I tend to smother mine with cheese, so use as you wish. Place the chicken under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling and melted, about 5 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with sour cream and green onion. Side dish serving suggestion: brown rice or black beans. To make this in a conventional way, I would suggest using only thawed chicken and searing it on each side. In a deep pan, I would make the sauce, then nestled the seared chicken into it, cover it and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken registers at 165°F. Proceed with the directions on setting it in a baking dish and broiling the cheese.
