Instructions
1
Pour the salsa verde and enchilada sauce into your instant pot. Placed your chicken breast on top of the liquid.
2
Close your instant pot lid. Close the valve by pushing it away from you. Set your instant pot to high-pressure for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes is done, allow your instant pot to naturally release for about 10 more minutes. Once that is complete, manually release by pulling the valve towards you to open the pressure. Make sure to use a towel or hot pad to protect your hands from steam.
3
Using two forks, or a hand mixer, shred your chicken inside your instant pot with the liquid.
4
Add to your instant pot half of your cheese (1 cup). Mix well.
5
Add to your instant pot your tortillas. Mix well.
6
Finish by adding the remaining cheese to your instant pot.
7
With your instant pot remaining on warm, lock the lid in place and allow it to sit for about five minutes. This will allow the remaining cheese to melt, as well as the tortillas to take on the flavors of the casserole.
8
Open your instant pot and give it one more good stir. You can serve on a plate, or in a bowl. Top with sour cream, cilantro, avocado chunks, more cheese, jalapeños, hot sauce, etc.! Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Shred Chicken Before Assembly 🍗Shred the Instant Pot chicken into bite-sized pieces immediately after cooking while still warm, ensuring even distribution throughout each enchilada and better sauce absorption.
- Reserve Cooking Liquid for Sauce 💧Save 1/2 cup of the chicken cooking liquid and whisk it into your enchilada sauce to create a silkier, more cohesive sauce that prevents the tortillas from drying out.
- Warm Tortillas Before Rolling 🔥Microwave tortillas wrapped in a damp towel for 30 seconds before rolling to make them pliable and prevent cracking, ensuring beautiful intact enchiladas.
- Layer Sauce strategically 🎯Spread a thin sauce layer on the Instant Pot bottom first, then alternate enchiladas with sauce, ending with sauce on top to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking in the pressure cooker.
- Quick Release Then Broil 🔆After pressure cooking, use quick release and immediately top with fresh cheese, then broil for 2-3 minutes to achieve golden, melted cheese without overcooking the tortillas.
