Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts large
  • 1 ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika or chipotle paste
  • 3-4 cloves garlic pressed
  • 225ml/1 cup tomato passata/crushed tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients except for the chicken breasts. Arrange the chicken breasts at the bottom of the Instant Pot, pour the sauce over and mix to coat the chicken.
  • Pressure cook on Manual at high pressure for 8 minutes. Allow for natural pressure release. Take the chicken out of the pot and shred with two forks, bring back to the liquid. Initially it will look like the chicken is swimming in the sauce but give it 10-15 minutes and most of the sauce will get absorbed up by the chicken.
