Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice and zest, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor.
  • Prepare the mango salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the chicken: Preheat the pressure cooker by setting it to the sauté function or using the manual high pressure setting. Add the chicken breasts to the pressure cooker insert and pour the marinade over them. Seal the lid and check your float valve is up and sealed tight. Set it to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Quick release: Once cooking time is up, go for a quick release to get the steam out fast. Be careful as it gets hot and loud.
  • Check for doneness: Open the lid and check your chicken for doneness with a quick poke or knife slice. It should pull apart easily and look beautifully cooked.
  • Mix salsa: While the chicken rests on a plate, mix your mango salsa ingredients in a bowl. The bright mango and tangy lime make a fresh topping.
  • Assemble and serve: Slice your chicken and top it with the mango salsa goodness. Serve and enjoy your quick, tasty meal.

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
