Cheesy Instant Pot Salsa Chicken

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breasts
4 oz cream cheese
1 jar salsa your favorite brand
2 cups shredded cheese
2 tbsp taco seasoning homemade or your favorite brand. Look for no added sugar in the ingredients

Instructions

Pour small amount of salsa into bottom of Instant Pot. (This helps keep the chicken from sticking)
Season both sides of chicken with Taco Seasoning
Place chicken breasts in Instant Pot
Put cream cheese over top of chicken (I like to break it into smaller cubes)
Pour remaining salsa over top
Cook for 10 minutes with natural release
Let pressure release naturally
When done, remove lid, quickly top with shredded cheese and recover
Let cheese melt for a few seconds, shred with 2 forks and serve

Notes

This Salsa Chicken is a THM S (healthy fats) meal and is great served with brown rice and topped with guacamole and sour cream. The brown rice would make it a THM crossover with the carbs from the brown rice and the fats from the cheese, guacamole and sour cream. If you'd like to avoid a crossover, simply leave out the brown rice OR serve it over cauli rice to keep it an S.

Men and children need healthy crossover meals and those at goal weight or who are pregnant can enjoy crossovers as well. I also like to enjoy a crossover meal a couple times per month, even though I'm in weightloss mode.
