Pressure Cooker Salsa Lime Chicken | 5 Ingredients | Gluten-Free | Dairy-Free | Healthy | Instant Pot

2 Easy Steps, 5 Simple Ingredients

I know, I know, I use the word easy in most of the recipes I share. That’s because with a two year old and three month old at home, easy recipes are a must. That said, I also appreciate recipes that are frugal and healthy. This recipe is all of those things!

Boneless chicken thighs, a lime, taco seasoning, 1 cup of salsa and a can of black beans are all you need for this recipe. Just place the first four ingredients in your Instant Pot and cook, then add the can of black beans (drained), allow to heat through and enjoy!

The Salsa Makes a Difference

I recommend using good quality chunky salsa. I went with this one, but use any variety you like, including fresh, homemade salsa.

A Note About Taco Seasoning

You can certainly use a packet of store bought taco seasoning, but I prefer to use homemade. Homemade taco seasoning is cheaper, has better flavor, and you have the advantage of knowing that there are no artificial ingredients or additives.  Here’s the taco seasoning recipe we use.

However, we tested this recipe using store bought taco seasoning as well, and it was still delicious. So if you’re short on time, don’t be afraid to use store bought!Pressure Cooker Salsa Lime Chicken | 5 Ingredients | Gluten-Free | Dairy-Free | Healthy | Instant Pot

Tacos or Rice

We enjoy serving this recipe two ways- over rice, and as an alternative to ground beef in tacos.  It’s delicious both ways, but my favorite way to enjoy it is over a bowl of Cilantro Lime Brown Rice. It makes a savory and filling weeknight meal!Pressure Cooker Cilantro Brown Rice: Just 4 easy steps! Gluten-free | Dairy-free | Low Oil | Copycat Recipe | Chipotle Copycat | Instant Pot

    Thank you! I am going to love this recipe and make it with your rice and the idea of making my own taco seasoning is super appealing. You do all the work and we all reap the benefits. Can’t wait to make this one. Thank you for sharing at TADA! Thursdays

    Looks fabulous! I am on a detox now but can leave out the beans! Sprouts sells a Taco seasoning that I can use that is organic and no sugar, so this works out perfectly.
