Instant Pot Chili Cilantro Lime Shredded Chicken

Tonight was nacho night, I didn’t feel like going out to the store to get anything pre-packaged to season my meat, so I went on a search in my kitchen to see what I had. I saw the limes and knew I had cilantro. So I thought I would create something that turned out delicious!

I made Instant Pot Chili Cilantro Lime Shredded Chicken with only what I had in the kitchen, I didn’t have to go out, which made me super happy. I loathe having to go out once I am already in. But the best part is that it made the most amazing Nachos.

I also made fresh Pico De Gallo to top my Instant Pot Chili Cilantro Lime Shredded Chicken Nachos and man, oh man it was amazing. I made enough for leftovers, so tomorrow, I will probably eat just the meat and some pico together, I’m going back on keto, wich is rough, but this will make it much better!

This one will go on my list to make often… Thanks for reading and don’t forget to pin!
