Equipment

Instant Pot (or other brand of pressure cooker)

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted chicken broth (use unsalted broth because the seasoning has plenty of salt!)
3-4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 packets Riega Hatch Chili seasoning (we used 1 ½ packets)
Your favorite taco ingredients (fresh tomatoes, avocado, pickled red onions, etc.)

Instructions

Place 1 cup chicken broth in the pot of your pressure cooker.
Place half the chicken thighs in the pot in a single layer, then sprinkle with half the seasoning packet.
Place the rest of the chicken on top of the other chicken and sprinkle the rest of the seasoning packet over the chicken (save the 2nd seasoning packet for adding after cooking).
Cook on high pressure for 10-12 minutes.
Use natural pressure release for 15 minutes after cooking, then use quick release for the remaining pressure.
Shred the chicken, then taste test to see if you'd like additional seasoning. Add either 1/2 or the entire 2nd packet of seasoning if you want more flavor (we added just 1/2 the 2nd packet to keep this from being too salty).
Use this hatch green chili shredded chicken for tacos, burritos, lettuce wraps, taco bowls, and more!
