Course: Salad
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

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

Instructions

  • 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)
  • Cook the chicken on “manual/high pressure” for 20 minutes. 
  • Natural Pressure Release for at least 10 minutes, unless you like dry, chewy chicken.
  • Discard the extra liquid, shred the chicken and add however much BBQ sauce you like (I added 1/2 cup).
