Instant Pot Chicken Breasts

  • Set the timer for 20-25 minutes, depending on your chicken breasts' size and select "natural release" for the pressure. Cook on "high pressure".
  • Once the chicken is ready, remove from the Instant Pot and set aside to cool off before shredding.

  • Whisk together Cumin, Salt, Lime Juice, and Olive Oil
  • Add the dressing to the salad bowl and toss thoroughly until everything is coated
