Ingredients

Units Scale

For the chicken:

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts (or a combination)
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

For the tzatziki sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups seeded, peeled and finely diced cucumbers
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp olive oil

Topping ideas for the nachos:

  • Olives
  • Diced red onions

Instructions

  1. Pressure cook chicken: Add chicken, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, sea salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder and onion powder to Instant Pot. Cover and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 12 minutes. When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. Move chicken to a cutting board and chop*. 
  2. Make the tzatziki sauce: Stir the yogurt, cucumber, dill, pepper, garlic, salt, garlic powder and olive oil together in a bowl. 
  3. Assemble the nachos: Lay some pita chips on a plate, add some of the chicken on top and then add desired toppings. End with a large dollop of tzatziki sauce. Eat and enjoy!

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. Make this in the 8 quart by adding 1/2 cup of chicken broth in with the chicken. Make in the 3 quart pot with no changes.

There isn’t a lot of liquid in this recipe because chicken puts off so much liquid that it comes to pressure without adding in extra broth. You may wish to add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to your pot if you use organic chicken that has less or no water injected into the chicken. Look at the packaging of the chicken.

Slow Cooker Instructions: Add all chicken ingredients into slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Remove lid and place chicken on a cutting board. Chop the chicken and serve on top of nachos. 

For a low carb and gluten free version serve the chicken and toppings on a shredded lettuce instead of pita chips.
