Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • chopped romaine lettuce
  • black beans
  • corn
  • cilantro
  • red onion
  • tomato
  • lime wedge
  • BBQ chicken (Instant Pot directions below)
  • cilantro-lime crema dressing (from Costco) or use ranch
  • tortilla strips, Walmart, near the salad dressing
  • extra BBQ sauce drizzle for the top
  • avocado if you are eating the salad right away

Method
 

  1. Put 4 frozen chicken breasts in the instant pot and (I actually didn’t add any water because the ice glaze on my frozen chicken was so thick- but typically, add 1/2 cup of water so that steam can build pressure)
  2. Cook the chicken on “manual/high pressure” for 20 minutes. 
  3. Natural Pressure Release for at least 10 minutes, unless you like dry, chewy chicken.
  4. Discard the extra liquid, shred the chicken and add however much BBQ sauce you like (I added 1/2 cup).
