    My Instant Pot® obsession continues, and this time I turned my Adobo Slow Cooker Chicken into Instant Pot Adobo Chicken. I have no idea why I reversed the words in the title, oh well. Either way you make it, you will end up with juicy, delicious chicken that is perfect as a taco or burrito filling.....

    or simply serve it over Steamed or Cauliflower Rice. This Instant Pot Adobo Chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the entire family will love. It's a really simple recipe that even the kids can help with!

    How to make Instant Pot Adobo Chicken:

    Place chicken breasts inside Instant Pot liner. Sprinkle chicken with Adobo and turmeric seasonings. Flip over and sprinkle the other side.....

    Garnish as desired with sour cream, avocado, cheese, etc. Unless of course you are following a Paleo or Whole 30 diet....then you will need to stick to Paleo Cauliflower Rice or Cassava Flour Tortillas with no sour cream or shredded cheese! 😉

    This Instant Pot Adobo Chicken really is delicious no matter how you serve it, and it makes awesome leftovers as well. 🙂

    Notes:

    • If you like spicy food, choose HOT or SPICY chile peppers! This recipe is NOT spicy as it is written.
    • For extra heat, add sliced jalapenos on top of the tomatoes before cooking...and then add more when serving.
    • Hot sauce is quite spicy as well, add a few splashes when serving.
    • Make sure you check your chicken to be sure it is cooked thoroughly. If not, put the lid back on and continue cooking for a few minutes.
    • I have this Instant Pot® and I absolutely love it!! {affiliate link}
    • Yes you can make this recipe with a different brand of pressure cooker, but your buttons may be different.

        You are welcome Becca, I'm so glad that you like it!! It was my son's girlfriend that came up with that combination, I never would have thought of it either. 🙂
