Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced
  • 2 bell peppers sliced
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Tortillas for serving

Method
 

  1. Set the Instant Pot to saute, add the olive oil and brown the chicken in batches without crowding the pot.
  2. Add the sliced peppers, onion and fajita seasoning and stir to coat.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot.
  4. Seal and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes, then quick release.
  5. Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Sauteing the chicken first builds flavor - do not skip it. Do not overcrowd the pot or the chicken steams instead of browning. Half a cup of broth is plenty; fajitas are not meant to be saucy. Bell peppers add color and sweetness.
