Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Chicken Breast boneless
  • 1 28 oz Can Diced Tomato
  • 1 Lemon juiced
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1 tbsp Low Carb Soy Sauce I use Tahini Soy, can also use Amino Acids. See products below.
  • 1 Cup Chicken Broth reduced sodium
  • 100 grams White Onion diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients to the Instant Pot and set to manual high pressure for 25 minutes. Note: If chicken breasts are on the smaller size, you may need to reduce the time to 15 minutes. For reference the ones I use are quite large from Costco (about 1 lb each).
  • After the cooking is complete, turn the pressure valve to venting.
  • The chicken should easily fall apart as soon as you pick it up and can be easily shredded with two forks.

Notes

Store the leftovers with the remaining liquid from the instant pot. This packs so much flavor and will keep the chicken juicy and tender!
