  1. I think there is a step missing… I’m assuming we shred the chicken at some point?Also, how spicy is this if made in the Instant Pot?

    1. Hi Amy! Yes, you may need to help in the shredding process. Since it is chicken breasts it will naturally shred some as it cooks, but if you want smaller portions of meat you will want to shred. It will be a bit on the spicy side, but you are welcome to cut back on the chile and chipotle powder.

  2. Do you really get 8 servings from just 1 pound of chicken? There are six in my family, and when I do beef tacos, 2 pounds of meat just barely goes far enough-no leftovers.
