  • 1/8 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Pour 1/4 cup Water into bottom of Instant Pot.
  • Add chicken thighs to Instant Pot, and sprinkle Salt over chicken.
  • In large bowl combine Salsa, Chiles, and Garlic, and pour mixture over chicken.
  • Add lid to Instant Pot. Then, select “Meat/Stew” setting, “High Pressure”, and change cooking time to 15 minutes.
  • Preheat will begin 10 seconds after settings are selected.
  • Once Chicken Thighs are done, Quick Release pressure before removing lid.
