On this week’s Make It Monday we are featuring the Instant Pot Pressure Cookers! The Instant Pot was created with the need for making fast, tasty, and healthy meals in mind. With their pressure cooker abilities, Instant Pots are able to bring tasty meals to the table within minutes.
If you haven’t already joined the Instant Pot family, the model below can be purchased for $80.00 on Amazon or Walmart. If you want to use your Pro Points, that would equate to 800 Pro Points.
Here are two recipes to try out brought to you by Aleta Crouch and Mike Richards.

Instant Pot Chicken Tacos from Mike Richards
- Add raw chicken to your instant pot. ( I usually use breasts or tenderloins, whatever you prefer)
- Add enough chicken stock to cover the raw chicken.
- Add whatever spices you prefer on your taco meat. (I like to use regular taco seasoning and add dried chilies to give it a bit of spice.
- Pressure cook the chicken for roughly 20 minutes until the meat is tender and pulls apart.
- Serve on tortillas and garnish with whatever taco toppings you prefer.
- Added note from Amy Graven – I have done something similar but poured a jar of salsa over the chicken as my seasoning and pressure cooked it.
