Hot and spicy RV Recipe: Instant Pot Chicken Verde

| Updated Jun 5, 2020

This dish is perfect for making a mildly spicy Mexican chicken dish that creates a luscious sauce.  I have made various versions of this recipe depending on the ingredients I'm able to obtain easily.  This is my most basic version but to tell you the truth simplicity is just fine with this dish and everyone comes back for 2nds.

If you have leftovers you can change it up a bit and make some kicked up nachos the next evening.

This RV Recipe is for the 6 qt. Instant Pot.

This recipe does not need any water or broth (at all)…  This is an exception for Instant Pots but this recipe has plenty of moisture for the pot that comes from the tomatillos and peppers.

Serves 6 – 8

2 lb                 bone in skin on chicken thighs, rinse and pat dry

6 – 8                large tomatillos, remove husk, rinse, scrub the sticky outer coating from the tomatillos.

                         spine of chilis then rough chop.

  1.  Prepare uncooked chicken as noted above.  Place in the stainless steel liner of the Instant Pot. 
  2.  Sprinkle seasoning over top of skin.
  3.  Scrub the tomatillos well with your hands under running water to remove the waxy coating.
  4. Note: the tomatillo skin needs to be scrubbed or you may get a soapy taste in your sauce.
  5.  Remove and discard seeds and spine from peppers, rough chop peppers, onion and tomatillos then place in the Instant Pot.

  8.  Insert an immersion blender into the chili sauce, blend until the remaining chili pieces liquefy.
  9.  Ladle the chicken verde into individual bowls.  Serve with the condiments above.
