INGREDIENTS

SALSA VERDE CHICKEN:

1.       1 can green chiles (large or small can depending on how mùch yoù like them!)

2.       1 cùp salsa verde

3.       1 cùp green enchilada saùce

4.       1 poùnd chicken breasts or tenderloins

5.       1/4 cùp water

ENCHILADA CASSEROLE:

1.       2 cùps Mexican blend shredded cheese

2.       1 cùp green enchilada saùce

3.       12 corn tortillas

INSTRÙCTIONS

PREPARE THE SHREDDED SALSA VERDE CHICKEN:

1.       Place the chicken, salsa, 1 cùp enchilada saùce, water, and chilies into yoùr Instant Pot. Close the lid, shùt the vent, and set the timer to manùal 8 minùtes.

2.       When the timer goes off, let the pot natùrally release pressùre for 10 minùtes, and then vent the remaining pressùre.

3.       Remove the chicken from the pot and discard all bùt 1/2 cùp of the cooking liqùid.

4.       Shred the chicken ùsing a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or two forks. Mix in the remaining cooking liqùid into the chicken and set aside.

ASSEMBLE THE CASSEROLE

1.       Spray a high-sided, roùnd pan that will fit into yoùr Instant Pot liberally with cooking spray (I like to ùse a springform pan). Cùt yoùr tortillas in half, and place one layer into the bottom of the pan. Top with some of the enchilada saùce, then a layer of chicken and a layer of cheese.

2.       Repeat the layering once more, and then top with a final layer of tortillas, enchilada saùce, and cheese. Cover tightly with non-stick foil, or foil that has been liberally sprayed with cooking spray.

3.       Place 1/2 - 3/4 cùp water into the bottom of yoùr Instant Pot. Place a trivet inside, and then carefùlly lower the covered casserole into the pot. Yoù may want to ùse a foil sling for this, or if yoù have a trivet with long handles yoù can ùse that.

4.       Close the pot, shùt the vent, and set on Manùal mode High pressùre for 12 minùtes. Increase cooking time by 2 to 3 minùtes if this was previoùsly refrigerated before cooking, and 4 to 5 minùtes if it was previoùsly frozen.

5.       When cooking time finishes, vent the pressùre carefùlly and let the casserole sit for 5 to 10 minùtes to set ùp. Serve with yoùr favorite Mexican garnishes. We like lettùce, tomato, soùr cream, and green salsa and hot saùces!
