Pressure Cooker Crispy Chicken Carnitas
Chicken carnitas made in the pressure cooker, so they’re quick and easy! We crisp them up in the broiler, and they are perfect to meal prep and enjoy for the week!
Isn’t it about time that Taco-Friday was a thing?
Let me introduce you to my first food binge of 2017 – crispy chicken carnitas from your pressure cooker. Bear with me while I’m having this moment of carnitas insanity and if it’s not too much to ask, have this moment with me, won’t you? It all starts with crispy shredded chicken that we’ve pressure cooked, then shredded and broiled for a hot second, so the chicken gets nice and crispy on the outside but stays tender and juicy on the inside. We then tuck it into warm, white corn tortillas and move on to the topping possibilities. There’s just something about simple toppings that do it with these. Diced onions and chopped cilantro are really all this needs. And chipotle sauce. Because sauce makes the world a better place!
And while we’re on the topic of tacos, may I just add that friends don’t count tacos. As in, if you were to come over for dinner tonight, in no way would I judge the number of warm tortillas you stuffed full of these homemade chicken carnitas and then proceeded to consume in one sitting. No ma’am. Friends don’t count tacos. Friends make sure there are plenty of tortillas around for your stuffing pleasure. Ermmm.. This just got awkward.
It’s a little outrageous how simple these are to make, and the possibilities are endless. Having a big batch of these chicken carnitas in the fridge or freezer is perfect for quick meals throughout the week.
I’m so over the moon about these right now.
Crispy chicken carnitas (1 min):
Let me get this out in the open right of the bat: these chicken carnitas are super simple. So simple that I’m a little embarrassed to call this a recipe. But that’s the thing about making meals in a pressure cooker, you blink, and your food is ready. Love, love love, my instant pot.
One thing I’ve come to know about myself after three years of food blogging – my favorite recipes are the ones that are a cinch to whip up and are FLEXIBLE for multiple meal situations throughout the week. So Friday night I can enjoy chicken carnitas as intended, wrapped in warm tortillas and topped with everything. The chicken goes into my favorite burrito bowls on Saturday for a zippy lunch. And woulda look at that! Sunday night’s quick enchiladas brought to you by these chicken carnitas – lightening fast.
Two pounds of this stuff disappeared so quickly in our house, I’m a little ashamed to mention it to all of you internet friends. The winner though was the chicken carnitas served with just a few toppings in tortillas. I served them up a couple of different ways, and if you asked me to pick, all I could tell you is that I LOVED them. A WHOLE LOT. Also, I want more. But you can put just about EVERYTHANG on these are it’ll be that much more awesome. My personal favorite –> diced onions, chopped cilantro, sautéed cabbage, and my favorite part – homemade chipotle mayo because what in the WORLD is a taco without sauce? ? And equally necessary, lots of lime wedges to squeeze right on top of all that taco goodness.
Let’s get this started! The first thing we’re going to do is gather the liquids. You need equal parts of OJ, lime juice, and chicken broth. We’ll mix the seasonings in a bowl – that’s salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Sprinkle all of this all over the chicken breasts. Then we’ll take things directly to the instant pot. I like to sear the chicken breasts in a quick swish of olive oil to get all those spices crusted onto the chicken. This is really quick just 1 minute on each side; we don’t want to cook the chicken. Place the chicken on a plate and just brown the onion wedges and garlic about 2 minutes flipping to get all the sides nice and browned.
Add the chicken back into the pressure cooker along with chipotle peppers and some of that adobo sauce, a bay leaf, and a handful of cilantro and that orange juice slash lime juice slash chicken broth mixture.
Let the pressure build up and cook for 8-10 minutes. I had a ton of tiny chicken breasts, so all I needed was 8 minutes. For larger chicken breasts, pressure them for 9-10 minutes.
Shred the chicken once it’s cool enough to handle and don’t even THINK about tossing out that liquid from the pressure cooker. We’re going to add ¼ cup of it back into the chicken before broiling!
I also add about two tablespoons of olive oil to the chicken so that the broiler makes the outside of the chicken carnitas extra crispy. It’ll go into the oven for a total of 10 minutes, make sure to stop halfway and give it a toss. Rotate your pan too and add a couple more tablespoons of the cooking liquid to keep things flavorful and juicy.
See what I mean? All of this will take you in the ballpark of 35-40 minutes, but this also makes 2 pounds! So unless you’re feeding eight people in a sitting, it’ll last you a while. Seeing as how it’s super slow on calories, it’s also perfect to #mealprep for the week. You can also pop half that shredded chicken into a zip top bag once it’s cooled and voila! Cooked chicken that’s great to use in chicken tortilla soup, enchiladas, or anything else you please.
After devouring these tacos left and right, we also figure it would work in a salad form or burrito bowls. I, however, would almost always choose the original version stuffed in warm tortillas. I almost forgot to tell you about that chipotle sauce. It has me going crazy with its simplicity and delicious flavors. All you need is a little mayo, a little milk, adobo sauce, and a pinch of garlic powder.
And really, why am I still talking? I need you grab this recipe, get out (fire up?) your instant pot and get ready for chicken carnitas! And remember, the carnita-bilites are endless. [mic drop]
Meh, go with it!
Pressure Cooker Crispy Chicken Carnitas
Chicken carnitas made in the pressure cooker so they’re quick and easy! We crisp them up in the broiler and they are perfect to meal prep and enjoy for the week!
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon EACH chili powder AND dried oregano
- salt and pepper
- zest and juice of 1 orange (about ¼ cup)
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 5 cloves garlic, pressed or chopped
- 1 yellow onion, quartered
- 1-2 chipotle pepper + 1-2 tablespoons adobo sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ bunch of cilantro (stems included)
- 2 tablespoons oil + more
For the Chipotle Sauce:
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1-2 chipotle peppers + 1 tablespoons adobo sauce
- pinch of salt and garlic powder
To Serve:
- tortillas, diced onions, chopped cilantro, sautéed cabbage, lime wedges, and anything else you like!
Directions:
For the chicken:
- Combine the cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle the seasons over the chicken breasts on both sides.
- Heat the instant pot on the sauté setting. Add a quick swish of oil and sear the chicken breasts on both sides for a minute on each side. Do this in batches so the chicken sears rather than steaming. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the onions and pressed garlic, let cook 2 minutes flipping as needed to brown all sides evenly.
- Add the chicken back into the pressure cooker along with the orange zest, orange juice, lime juice, chicken broth, whole chipotle pepper(s), adobo sauce, bay leaf, and cilantro. Cover the instant pot and let pressure cook on the ‘chicken’ setting for 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breast. Prepare the chipotle sauce while you wait for the chicken to cook. Allow the pressure to release naturally or turn to the ‘vent’ setting. Allow it to vent completely before removing the lid.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to the ‘broiler’ setting. Remove the chicken breast to a clean surface and shred the chicken using 2 forks. Place in a large bowl and drizzle ¼ cup of cooking liquid over the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil over the surface of a baking sheet. Add the chicken and drizzle the second tablespoon of oil on top. Stir to coat evenly.
- Broil the chicken for 10-12 minutes stopping half way to toss the chicken and drizzle another 1-2 tablespoons of cooking liquid. Rotate the pan for even broiling.
For the Chipotle Sauce:
- While the chicken is pressure cooking, add the sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Notes:
- Leftover chipotle peppers/adobo sauce can be kept in a zip-top bag in the freezer!

This recipe was perfection! Easy, quick, and so so tasty. The chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. I had nearly all the ingredients on hand with the exception of adobo & chilis, but we just went without. It was amazing and every single person in my family loved it. Even the picky people! And it felt like a light dish, which was perfect for our already hot temps in NC. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
How many servings does the recipe make? The nutritional info is for one serving but I didn’t see how many servings the recipe made. Thanks!
It makes about 8 servings, you can always find this information right below the nutritional facts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow me to add the info to the label!
Made this the other night. I just got my instant pot and this is the 2nd thing I tried. Soooo good! When I went to make it, I realized I didn’t have any oregano or cumin—I tore apart my spice cabinet lol! But what I did have was one of those taco seasoning packets which did have cumin in it along with some other goodies, so I used that along with the chili powder etc to dredge my chicken. I used boneless skinless breast and thighs, because I had that on hand and my boyfriend is a maniac for chicken thighs—but I’m always trying to get him to incorporate more chicken breast into his life 🙂 when it came out of the IP, I only put a small portion under the broiler because we wanted to try it both ways—they were both delicious in their own ways. Anyways, we had it “regular style”—with salsa sour cream and lettuce on a flour tortilla, but also we tried it with fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice and some crumbly goat cheese along with some “sauce” I made from lime juice, sour cream and the adobo sauce from the chipotles—YUM! The combinations are endless and all delicious. We had leftovers (even though we both pigged out that night lol) and so today I made us each a salad to take to work, and some of the chicken in a separate little baggie to heat up & top the salad with—OMG perfection again. I could actually even eat the chicken for dinner again tonight! This is a big thing since I’m not typically a fan of leftovers. I’m thinking maybe some kind of flatbread or something. Whatever the case—delicious delicious delicious and so easy and so versatile!
This was super delicious & I didn’t even use the chipotle sauce as I’m dairy free & hubby doesn’t like mayo. I just used green salsa & it was delicious. I diced the abode chilis & skipped the extra sauce just in case it was too spicy. The citrus adds an amazing taste. I had some oranges from a neighbors tree & was super happy to be able to use them in a such a yummy recipe. Broiling in the oven was super easy.
I love my instant pot & I was excited to try this recipe. It did not disappoint!
Thank you for posting this great recipe.
Absolutely llovd this. That sauce! Turned out perfect. Thank you!!
Hi,
is there any alternative to cilantro? Pls let me know. Thanks
Delicious recipe – I didn’t even have oranges/juice or the adobo peppers on hand. It was great with just lime juice and chicken broth. Finishing the chicken under the broiler is genious. The end result works equally well for tacos or for pulled barbeque chicken. It was so good I made a second batch right after the first.
We just got our first instapot for Christmas and are working through recipes from Pinterest. I have to say this one is one of the best of the best! WOW!! The citrus flavors are amazing, and the last step of broiling the chicken is brilliant! Also the chipotle sauce MADE this recipe! WOW! Thank you so much! This is going into our regular rotation!
Loved the recipe, can’t wait to get my hands on it. One question, can i use beef instead of chicken? cz i prefer having that over chicken!!
I got an insta pot for Christmas and this was the first recipe I tried, it turned out delicious! This will be in the regular rotation for sure. It was easy and turned out perfect.
I have made this multiple time, and we have loved it every time. Do you know how long pork would have to cook as a substitute for chicken?
Not really sure how long pork would need, i’ve only made it with chicken!
Teenage kids loved it! I cooked Spanish Rice in the extra sauce while chicken was broiling. We put onions and cheese on top of tacos. (i didn’t even have all of the ingredients, but it still tasted amazing). And it was so easy to make. Thanks
I made this tonight…it was fantastic! I added a couple of chopped Serrano peppers for more heat with yellow rice. I added the remainder of the sauce to my rice and also the chicken when I broiled it. This is one I’ll be making again!
This was soooooo easy and delicious!!! Will be making all the time.
Looks yummy will try soon
My brother is a chicken madman and i will tell my mother to make this crispy beauty chicken. Lets see, after tasting, i will give one more comment. thanks for this wonderful recipe.
Thank you, this recipe is a keeper and I’ll definitely make it again! Also a great dish for potlucks. In the morning, I used 1 cup of mojo criollo, seasoned 6 boneless chicken thighs with adobo and combined in a freezer bag to marinate during the day. The thighs were juicy and tender, easy to shred and crisped up nicely in the broiler. I saved the leftover juice from the InstaPot and will use it the next time I make a pot of beans.
It looks yummy! Will try this recipe this weekend for the boyfriend! Thanks for sharing this amazing
My husband loved this much. He got surprised with the taste. I add more ingredients like chili and pepper since he loves spicy foods. Thanks.
If you have a Mexican market nearby, buy Mexican oregano. Regular grocery store (Mediterranean ) oregano is too sweet.
Chicken thighs work better in my opinion because they have more flavor and fat; the fat helps keeps them from overcooking.
This is a great recipe, even my Mexican ex-husband loved it. He took home leftovers!
It looks easy! I’m going try it tonight!
I have made it a few times and each time it’s awesome to taste. Thanks for the delicious dinner.
Wow!
It looks yummy! Will try this recipe tonight for the family! Thanks for sharing
This is amazing Recipe i am try tonight thank you Marzia
OMG. Just finished eating this! I was looking for a recipe to use for the things I had and I had everything but the cilantro. However, I did have some sweet corn! I think it would be delish with cilantro, but the corn added a nice sweetness to bring down the spice a little (I used about 1/2 a cup). For any ladies who might care, it’s just spicy enough to feel like you just put on a lip plumper. ha.
Also, I kept coming back to see what you say to do with the leftover stuff in the pot (onions, peppers, liquid, etc) and just could NOT bring myself to throw it away after I tasted it, so I added a couple of cups of chicken broth and another 1/2 cup of corn, brought it to a boil and now I also have tortilla soup! THANK YOU!
FInally! I have made probably 5 other meals in my IP that all turned out terrible. I was ready to throw it out the window. This was NOT the case with this. I love the flavor that the chicken had. I didn’t make the sauce because my family wouldn’t have eaten it but the chicken alone was plenty flavorful, just needed a bit of lime juice for moisture after broiling and not using the sauce. Definitely will become a regular for shredded chicken in our house, as I make a lot of mexican food. Thank you!!
First thing that I ever made with nub IP and it was outstanding! Will be making again & again! Thank you!
I’ve been a huge fan of your carnitas recipes and got my instant pot for Christmas. My boyfriend and I agreed to make tacos one night, but he texted me in a panic that I didnt take the meat out of the freezer and get the crockpot going! I feel like the crockpot is super easy, but having dinner that was DELICIOUS and taken straight from the freezer to the IP was even easier. I sort of threw together a similar mojo style carnitas but thanks for all your great recipes!
This is now my go-to taco recipe! It’s perfect to make in the morning before work. When I’m in a rush, I throw some fajita seasoning (the kind in the packets) in instead of measuring out all of the spices and the end result is still fabulous! I serve the chicken in corn tortillas with shredded Mexican cheese, pickled red onions, avocado slices, and your corn salsa. This is one of our favorite dinners! Thank you!!
I’ve been thinking about getting a pressure cooker and looking at instapots. I love Mexican food and chicken carnitas look delicious (the pics made me hungry). I also enjoy meal prep where I can make something and use it later in the week (as the article suggests). Granted, I’m not going to use it more than twice in the same week, but it’s nice knowing you have a meat dish ready to go and you can do so much with it whether you do a burrito bowl as suggested, do wraps, or even salads.
Great flavour and easy to follow recipe. I would make it again for sure,
Could I make with is with frozen chicken breasts? How would I need to adjust the timing?
Yes, you probably could use frozen chicken for this recipe. If you do so you can skip the searing step. I’ve never tried it before but a quick google search shows people are saying 12 minutes for frozen chicken breasts. I’d test to see if it’s done at 12 and if it shreds easily, if not, just let it pressure cook for another 2-3 minutes.
I have made chicken breasts in my instapot numerous times. 10 minutes for 4 med or 6 large fresh or frozen. I always let the pressure come down naturally for at least 10 minutes otherwise the chicken tends to have the moisture sucked out of it.
do you have to strain the leftover liquid or is it good to keep as is for something later?
I’d strain it if you plan on using it for rice or something!
Is there a substitute for the orange zest? If you don’t have any, can you just use the orange juice without the zest?
Lemon or lime zest would also work, if you don’t have either, you can simply just omit it from the recipe.
can you use canned chipotle chili already in adobo sauce for this?
Yes, that’s exactly what you need! 🙂
The flavor was really delicious and oh so easy. Will definitely make again!
Just made this tonight as my first ever Instant Pot recipe and while itnwas a little more involved than some other recipes (as you noted and the timing estimate was pretty close), it was totally worth it. My husband and I kept serving ourselves “just one more” taco because they were so delicious. Thanks for making it so easy for me to break in my new gift with your clear step by step directions and video!
I made these vegan by using Butler Soy Curls instead of chicken and swapping the mayo for a vegan alternative. Instead of adding milk to the sauce I used the juice of half a lime. Thanks for the recipe. Absolutely delicious!!!
Marzia,
I made this two nights ago and served as tacos per your recommendation. My family raved about them. Thank you for a great pressure cooker recipe! I made a double batch and have plenty for additional meals. Tonight, I put the saved cooking broth in the Blendtec and puréed it. I then used it to replace the liquid in my favorite Mexican rice recipe. Was excellent!
Thank, again!
Just made this. Cannot say enough about how amazing it turned out! So flavorful! I may have taken a spoon and drank the leftover cooking liquid lol!
I may have done that too! Haha! Thanks for taking the time to comment Ashley! 🙂
I made this and the chicken dried out under the broiler. It was like jerky!! What did I do wrong?
Hi Heather! My best guess is that it just needed a little less time under the broiler. For next time, I suggest testing the chicken every 2-3 minutes during the broiling stage. Your broiler just seems to be more powerful and it probably crisps things up a little faster 🙂
I made this tonight, it was crazy good! This will definitely be one of my go to recipes! I severed it over cilantro lime rice in the tacos. I also used the cooking liquid to cook some pinto beans in the IP for a side.
How many servings are in this recipe. I love that you have the nutritional count, but need to know if what we had was about the same as one servings on the nutritional content.
The nutritional facts are for 1/8th of the recipe (written below the nutritional facts label). Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow me to add it to the label but this information can usually be found below the label itself or at the top of the recipe card 🙂
I had a lot of the liquid from pot left over. I feel bad throwing it away. What can I create out of it??
Hi Farah, you can strain the liquid and pop it in the fridge or freezer and use it as the ‘chicken broth’ for homemade enchilada sauce
This recipe is a a flavor bomb in your mouth! I’m already in love with my electric pressure cooker but this recipe… I can’t love enough! Hello leftovers!!! CAPITAL DELISH!!!
I have made this a few times and everyone loves it! Also once you remove the chicken do not toss out the remaining juice! We strained it and used it to make some very flavorful rice.
Wow. This looks like the perfect dish! Yum!
This has become a staple in our house! i make it almost every week as our meal prep lunches. I serve it over half a roasted sweet potato!
Thank you for this recipe. I made it earlier this week, and it was amazing! I wish there was more leftovers! I finished it in a cast iron on the stove top b/c the broiler scares me a bit. This is going in the regular rotation.
When you.say cooking liquid that is what is left from after taking out the chicken in the instant pot? Sorry I don’t cook much but want to try this!
Yes, that’s correct Kim. Hope you enjoy the carnitas! 🙂
This looks great but I need something not remotely spicy. Any ideas?
My family is super sensitive to any heat.
Hi Melissa! I wouldn’t say these carnitas are super spicy but they certainly do have a teeny tiny kick. You could try omitting the peppers but i’m really not sure how flavorful they would be as the peppers certainly do add a lot of flavor!
This recipe is amazing! Made it tonight for friends:) the kiddos loved it and so did the grown-ups. That chipotle sauce is amazing!
I Love Carnitas! And I Love my Instant Pot! I think we are going to love this in tacos and then enchaladas. Think I’ll just full my IP with as many chicken tenders as it will hold (there’s 5 of us) and hope for leftovers to freeze! 🙂
Hope you guys love it Natasha!
this was a great recipe with lots of flavors! This was also a great recipe to use the features of my new pressure cooker! This is a keeper, yum!
I made this divine recipe for my family tonight, and it is one of the most scrumptious and perfect meals I’ve ever made. It’s fresh, tasty, and tangy and you can eat it forever and never feel like you’re sinning. My kids and wife absolutely raved about it and rated it one of their favorite meals ever. This one is a keeper!
So glad to hear it was a hit, Joel! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
This looks delicious. I make a similar chicken carnitas in the pressure cooker (this was before I got by brand, new sparkling Instant Pot). I’ll have to give your version a try!
Hi 🙂
This looks really good and healthy too. I live in Netherlands and we can’t get chipotle peppers or adobo sauce in the supermarkets. What would you suggest I use in stead?
So happy to hear you wanted to give this recipe a try. For the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, you can swap it out for fresh jalapeño with a couple dashes of hot sauce (such as Tabasco). It won’t be exactly the same but it will come pretty close 🙂
You can also buy the cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce on line(amazon, etc).
There truly is no substitute for the chipotles. It is so unique! Here is a recipe to make Chipotles in Adobo yourself. It may be cheaper on line for the dehydrated chilies or you may be able to find other variety of dehydrated chilies locally..The recipe is from Chef Mark Miller. Hope this helps.
7-10 medium-sized dried chipotle chiles, stemmed and slit lengthwise
1/3 cup onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
5 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, sliced
4 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups water
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a pan, cover, and cook over very low heat for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, until the chiles are very soft and the liquid has reduced down to 1 cup. This recipe will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight container. For chipotle puree, place cooked chipotles and sauce in a blender, and puree. Put through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
Everyone here loved it! The flavors are great and the spiciness can be adjusted with sour cream to suit the children!
So glad to hear that Darla! Thank you of taking the time to comment 🙂
Really easy!!! These were a total hit. I didn’t add as many chiles/adobo to the chicken breasts, so my kids ate chicken and cheese tacos, and we could enjoy the spicy version with a hotter sauce. I also zested the 2 limes before juicing them and made cilantro-lime rice in the Instant Pot as a side. Thanks for the simple and delicious dinner!
Would this recipe work just the same for a regular pressure cooker – not the Instant Pot?
Yes it’ll work in a regular pressure cooker as well, however cooking times may vary slightly.
This was my first recipe with my new Instant Pot. It was delicious! I put the carnitas on top of tostadas that I spread with refried black beans, then topped with Mexican cheese and popped back on the broiler. With sour cream and your chipotle mayo? A knockout!
Carnitas means pork.. There isn’t pork in this recipe, Looks good though!
Literally translated carnitas means ‘little meats’. Pork is more traditionally used but that doesn’t mean we should limit our options 🙂
Hi Marzia,
This looks so yummy. It’s my first time reading your blog and I am going to bookmark it.
Thank you 🙂
Oops, one quick question…. what you bump the time up to if I started with some frozen chicken breasts/thighs that I have? Or should I just not be lazy and thaw them out? Thanks!!!
Hi Jesse, I’ve only tested the recipe with thawed chicken breasts so it’s a little difficult for me to say whether you’d need to bump up the cooking time. I feel you may run the risk of the chicken overcooking on the outside if you don’t thaw them out prior to cooking. For best results, I suggest thawing them 🙂
About to make this for a crowd this weekend, I love that you crisp them up after! We have an old wedgewood so the broiler option is the drawer under the oven, so I can’t really get in the “middle” so I’ll just keep close watch on them. That crispy texture is going to be delicious, I can tell! Such a change from the wetter shredded chicken.
Broil for 10-12 minutes? Seems like a long time, but I’ll keep an eye on it. I’m going to try this one night this week!
It does seems a bit long, but that’s correct – 10-12 minutes. Just make sure to keep the baking sheet on a rack near the center of the oven so it doesn’t burn the chicken. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
I don’t have a pressure cooker. How else could I cook your yummy recipe?
I really want to make this recipe – looks sooo good.
Hi Connie, I bet you could follow the recipe through step #2 and then add everything to a slow cooker and let it cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours and then pick the recipe back up at step #4. Think it should work just as well 🙂
Hi Connie,
I make a similar recipe in the slow cooker. Marzia’s recommendation below is in line with how I do it, and it turns out well!
