Three Ingredient Salsa Chicken with Canned Black Beans-Pressure Cooker or Stove Top

Along with Chalupa (aka, Pig-N-Pintos), this Three Ingredient Salsa Chicken has quickly become a favorite freezer staple for my lunches. My ♥electronic pressure cooker♥ has this flavorful meal on the table with only 15 minutes of cooking time for thawed chicken or 22 minutes for a frozen breast. Either way, it's around a 30 minute meal. I make a small three serving batch, you can easily increase the amounts for a crowd.

The size of chicken breasts varies greatly, if they are huge I use 1/2 of a breast for a cup of salsa. If your crowd likes more meat, use the whole breast, you can always add more salsa when it's done cooking if needed. I buy the 8oz jar of Pace Picante Sauce at Dollar Tree, that makes this a really easy meal with two more servings for the freezer. This is also a great use for leftover salsa.
