Loaded Salsa Chicken Rice Bowls

I don’t mean to brag or anything, but Taco Tuesday just got an upgrade!

This Salsa Chicken is so good and makes the perfect quick meal that even the kids will love. It truly just takes minutes of prep making it a go-to on busy weeknights.

The Salsa Chicken is made using the Instant Pot and you can serve it in tacos (tortillas) or over rice with any topping you like.

The result is a flavorful chicken that is so tender, you can shred it with two forks in just minutes.

I made this Salsa Chicken using the Member’s Mark Fresh Salsa but if you prefer the cilantro taste, you can also use The Member’s Mark Fresh Cilantro Salsa.

About Member’s Mark Fresh Salsa

Member’s Mark Fresh and Fresh Cilantro Salsa are made with fresh produce with the right amount of spices for that special cravings.

Both salsas also have new and improved flavors! They are crisper and chunkier (I would say a Medium Chunkiness) and stopped using high-pressure processing and are now using all-natural preservatives.

I personally love the refreshing taste of the Member’s Mark Fresh Salsas and love that I can get a nice big jar of it at my local Sam’s Club and it’ll last me a long time (we go through salsa like crazy in our house).

While you certainly can dip your chip into this Salsa and enjoy, I like to use it for other recipes just like this Instant Pot Salsa Chicken.
