Is there an instant pot version of this recipe??
Unfortunately not, I’m not too experienced with the Instant Pot 🙁
Hi! I used 4 boneless chicken breasts and doubled the recipe. It is soupy. Is it supposed to be?
It is cooking now. It smells good.
Thank you.

It should not be! You could add a bit of cornstarch if it’s too soup…however the juice does make it really good 🙂
I made this with 4 chicken breasts and it’s super soupy. I think I’ll just do 1 cup of broth next time to see if that helps.
What kind of salsa did you use? Sometimes some salsa brands are more runny than others and can cause this (I’ve found out the hard way!)
While I have not made this, you really don’t need the broth, or you can just add very little. A lot of juice will cook out of the chicken since so many B/S breasts have solution added, etc. Or, once breasts have cooked, siphon off the juice. Consistency is usually king in this type recipe. Tailor it as you go along. Just a suggestion…
Thanks for your input!
For the cooking time, how long would you cook the chicken with the chicken broth if the chicken is frozen? Same amount of time?
Hi! I would cook on high for at least 1-2 hrs to let the chicken fully cook
