Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos are a time saver on Taco Tuesday!! Is there anything better than that day of the week?? This is so easy to make. It can be made in a hotel room and is perfect to bring for cooking for kids in the room!
This will be the main way I do our shredded chicken for tacos from here on out! Taco Tuesday is a hit in our house, even if it falls on a Thursday! This can be made in any size of Instant Pot and almost any amount. Plus these work out to be a Zero points weight Watchers food as well!
A Note From Jenny
When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.
With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)
I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food. I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here) . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.
Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos Ingredients:
- Chicken Breasts– I used boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. I find they shred for this type of food well and also don’t make more grease when cooking as thighs would.
- Taco Seasoning– I use my Homemade Taco seasoning more than store-bought.
- Fajita Seasoning
- Minced Garlic
- Minced Onion
