Prepare the Instant Pot by ensuring it is ready for cooking.

Place 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts into the Instant Pot.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of Primal Palate Meat and Potatoes seasoning (or substitute with chili powder and salt).

Pour 1 cup of salsa over the chicken in the pot.

Seal the lid of the Instant Pot.

Set the cooking time to 9 minutes on high pressure for chicken breasts or 7 minutes for chicken thighs.

Once cooking is complete, manually release the pressure immediately to prevent overcooking the chicken breasts.

Shred the chicken using tongs or a hand mixer if desired, noting that chicken thighs are more forgiving than breasts.

Serve the shredded chicken in tacos or use in other recipes.
