🌮 Instant Pot Chicken Taco Stew
===========================
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes (plus ~10 for pressure build/release)
Total Time: ~30 minutes
Ingredients
- 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4–5 golden potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 orange bell peppers, sliced
- 1 (14–15 oz) can diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 3 tbsp homemade mix)
- 1 cup chicken broth (or water + bouillon)
Optional toppings/add-ins:
- 1 cup frozen corn or 1 can black beans (drained)
- Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Fresh cilantro or green onions
- Tortilla chips or warm tortillas for serving
Instructions
- Layer the pot: potatoes on the bottom, chicken, peppers, diced tomatoes, with juice, frozen corn, taco seasoning, water/broth

Variation: Creamy Taco Stew
After shredding the chicken, stir in ½ cup cream cheese OR ½ cup sour cream/cream until melted and creamy. This thickens the stew into a rich, Tex-Mex style filling for rice bowls or burritos.
🔥 Tip: Leftovers freeze well — shred chicken fully, cool, and store in freezer bags for up to 3 months.

I'll let you know how it turned out!
