Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons or 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, add taco seasoning, brown sugar, chili, onion and garlic powders. Mix thoroughly.
  • Rub dry mixture on both sides of each chicken breast and set aside.
  • Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add the olive oil and allow to heat up. Add chicken breasts and brown 2-3 minutes. Turn and brown on other side.
  • In a small bowl, add chicken broth, enchilada sauce and lime juice. Add green chilies and mix well.
