Ingredients

  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chipotles in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 fresh lime, juiced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • Sour cream, diced avocado, diced tomatoes, cheddar, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to saute and add the oil to the pot to heat. Once shimmering add the peppers and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chipotles, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the pot and stir to coat the vegetables.
  2. Add the chicken, lime juice, and chicken broth to the pot.
  3. Cover, turn vent to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
  4. Allow pressure to release naturally, about 10 minutes, before removing the lid.
  5. Remove chicken from the pot and shred with two forks. 
  6. Turn the Instant Pot to saute and add the cream cheese. Whisk constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Turn Instant Pot off and return chicken to the pot. Add the cilantro and stir well to combine.
  7. Serve with sour cream, avocado, tomatoes, or cheese.

Notes

To make this in a slow cooker, cook on low heat for 3 hours. Remove the chicken and shred it. Add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Return the chicken to the pot with the cilantro.
