  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder

  • Turn the instapot off
  • In the instapot, add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, lime juice and seasonings. Stir to combine.

  • Once completely cooked, vent and de-pressurize the instapot then open the lid. Shred the chicken with two forks or a hand mixer
