What if I want to use raw chicken breasts? Will that change the cook time?
Hi Kim ~ this recipe works best with pre-cooked chicken, so if you don’t have rotisserie chicken on hand you could just pre-bake some chicken breasts and/or thighs in the oven or saute in your instant pot, shred, and then use in the recipe. Hope that helps! 🙂
This soup looks delicious!
Thank you so much! It really is a delicious twist to your Taco Tuesday! 🙂
