Instructions
Start by heating your pressure cooker on the saut mode if it has one, or use the stovetop version to warm up the olive oil until it’s shimmering.
In a bowl, mix all your dry spices like chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Toss in your chipotle chili pepper if you want that added kick.
Coat the pounded chicken breasts thoroughly with olive oil then rub your spice mix all over each piece so every bite bursts with flavor.
Place the chicken in the cooker, seal the lid, and make sure your sealing ring is properly in place. Set your cooker to high pressure for 6 minutes.
Once cooking’s finished, let the pressure do a slow release for a few minutes. You’ll hear the valve hiss softly releasing steam – that’s your cue to be patient and let the flavors finish melding.
After that, do a quick release for any remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid and you’ll see juicy chicken bathed in that fragrant broth depth. Serve it up with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and maybe some lime wedges on the side for your guests to add their own zing.
