1 packet of Taco seasoning
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 cp of water

Directions:
Trim the chicken of all fat and place the chicken in a pressure cooker. Pour the whole can of diced tomatoes over the chicken. Sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Give it a stir, seal set your cooker for 20 min

Remove the chicken from the pressure cooker and place in a med bowl, use 2 forks to shred the chicken. Once it's completely shredded, use a slotted spoon to get the diced tomatoes out and add to the chicken along with about 1/3 cp of the liquid This will keep the chicken moist and well seasoned.

Use this shredded chicken in any Mexican dish; enchiladas, tacos, burritoes, quesadillas, etc. I usually make it to use with my Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Finally something that cooked the way I want it when I use the pre-set cook time for that type of food. This time I used 9 skinless, boneless chicken thighs. It's possible that breasts would take a bit longer because they're so thick. When I use breasts i will cut them up into 3-4 pieces to make sure they cook in the pre-set time and to make them a bit easier to shred.
