This was fantastic! I used frozen chicken and it still came out cooked perfectly. I used homemade salsa, which was a bit runny. So while the chicken cooled instead of the keep warm setting, I used the sauté function and it reduced the liquid. This is a definite keeper recipe.

Ridiculously easy and great recipe! The only change I made is I added an onion into the pressure cooker with the rest of the ingredients. We both loved this and we will make again! Winner winner chicken dinner!
