Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Nachos or Quesadillas

Prior to getting an Instant Pot, I used to make this in a Crock Pot (just add the chicken and BBQ sauce) and even in the oven. But IMO it's much tastier (and faster) in the Instant Pot.

The really nice thing about this super easy recipe is that it makes 2 meals for us. We usually do quesadillas the first night (not pictured) and then nachos with the leftover chicken mixture the next night.

Ingredients

~1.5 lbs chicken breast

~ 2 C shredded cheese (maybe more for nachos the next night)

-1 can black beans

~1 C BBQ sauce

~1 C frozen corn

-1 handful chopped cilantro

-Tortillas (for quesadillas)

-Chips (for nachos)

Optional toppings

-peppers, jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, etc.

Steps

1. If making chicken in Instant Pot: place seasoned chicken breasts (I seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic salt) in Instant Pot with 1/2 C broth. Use the "Poultry" setting (mine cooked for 15 minutes) and then do natural release for about 10-15 minutes. I follow these guidelines for Instant Pot chicken.

2. Shred or dice chicken and add to large bowl.

3. Mix in corn, beans, cheese, cilantro.

4. Then use the mixture either in tortillas for Quesadillas (I usually add a bit more cheese once I scoop the filling onto the tortilla) or nachos. For nachos, you'll also want to add more cheese. I cooked the nachos for about 12 minutes at 375.
