Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 3 bell peppers (any color or combination of red, green, and orange), sliced, seeds and stems removed
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
- 3 tablespoons fajita seasoning
Optional
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced chicken breasts, water, sliced red onion, bell peppers, diced green chiles, fajita seasoning, and optional hot sauce into the Instant Pot. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes. This short, high-pressure cook helps the chicken become tender while infusing the flavors quickly.
- Release Pressure and Serve: Once cooking is complete, perform a quick pressure release by carefully turning the valve to vent. Use tongs to remove the chicken fajitas from the pot, discarding the remaining liquid. Serve the fajitas warm in tacos, topped with favorite additions like pico de gallo, cilantro, lime wedges, avocado, or use them to create burrito bowls, salads, or wraps.
Notes
- You can customize the heat level by adjusting or omitting the hot sauce.
- Use different colored bell peppers for a vibrant dish.
- This recipe is great for meal prep and reheats well.
- Leftover fajitas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer, chicken can be substituted with thinly sliced steak or shrimp.
