Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 (16-ounce) jar salsa verde

For the Tacos:

avocado
cilantro
corn tortillas white or yellow
lime wedges
queso fresco
romaine lettuce

Instructions

Place 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the pressure cooker. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon cumin powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon salt, and then pour 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa verde on top.
Cover the pressure cooker with the lid and set the valve to seal. Select manual mode and cook on HIGH pressure for 14 minutes followed by a 8 minute natural release. Turn the valve for a quick release to let out the remaining pressure. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid.
Shred chicken in the pot with all the juices. Remove chicken from pot with a slotted spoon and place in a serving bowl.
Assemble tacos with shredded chicken, romaine lettuce, cilantro, avocado, queso fresco, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
