Instant Pot Honey Lime Salsa Verde Chicken

I expected this honey lime chicken to be tasty but wow it exceeded my expectations! It was so very flavorful. I will be making this recipe again and again. It would be so tasty served over rice or rolled up in a tortilla. Greg ate the leftovers on top of a salad for lunch the next day.

The cool thing about this recipe is that you can easily double the recipe and feed a crowd. Remember you don’t need to double the cooking time. Just double the ingredients and keep the same cooking time.

The key to getting intense flavor from this recipe is letting the sauce reduce down for a few minutes after the chicken has pressure cooked. The sauce gets ultra flavorful and all the flavors just pop. The good thing about reducing the sauce is that you really can just hit the saute button and walk away for ten minutes. No need to stand over the pot and stir.

Try out this Instant Pot Honey Lime Salsa Verde for dinner this week! It’s a perfect weeknight dinner.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make Instant Pot Honey Lime Salsa Verde Chicken I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Description

Chicken tenders infused with lots of bright flavors. Green salsa, honey, lime, and plenty of seasonings will have you licking your plate! This chicken is perfect with rice, on tortillas, wrapped up in lettuce or plain. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken tenders, frozen or fresh (or you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced into the size of chicken tenders)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup mild salsa verde
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken and oil into the Instant Pot. Stir to coat the chicken in the oil. Then add in the chili powder, kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken in the seasonings. 
  2. Pour the lime juice into the pot and stir. Dump the salsa verde and honey on top of the chicken. 
  3. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes on high pressure. When the time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  4. Use tongs to place the chicken on a platter. Then turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting and let the juices boil and reduce down for 10 minutes. You don’t need to stir. Turn off the Instant Pot and then stir the chicken back into the pot and coat the chicken with the juices.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

    So I want to try this recipe, but do not have the smoked paprika. Would using regular paprika work?

      It is a different flavor profile and will leave out a lot of flavor. But you could do that!

    All the rave reviews for this recipe were right on the money. This made am amazingly delicious meal that everybody loved! I made this as written in my 3 qt. Instant Pot Mini with two exceptions: I used Herdez Guacamole Salsa (as you recommended in a different recipe) for the green salsa, and I added a corn starch slurry to thicken up the juices during the final saute.
    Thank you so much, Karen & Jennifer at Carlsbad Cravings!

    Karen, I’m jonesin’ to make this yummy sounding recipe tomorrow…but I could use some advice 🤔.
    I’m not sure what size a chicken “tender” would be. I’ll be using 3 full breasts for the 2lb of chicken. How many pieces (or how much weight/piece) would it make sense to slice each of my whole breasts into?
    I feel like a doofus, but I’m clued out re. tenders!😲
    Thanks in advance, Karen

      I put on my big girl pants, ditched the analysis paralysis, and just eyeballed what I figured might be chicken tender size. The sky didn’t fall, and the dinner results were fab!
      Karen, your recipe ROCKS! It’s also forgiving: I didn’t have quite enough lime juice, but subbing in lime zest, lemon, and fresh squeezed orange juices with a tsp of apple cider vinegar got me the 1/2 cup of tangy goodness needed. The chicken came out spatula-licking delish.👍

      Thanks oodles, and apologies for the needy hand-holding requests! 😊

    WOW!!! Lots of spice…but, we love spicy! I did saute the sauce a bit longer than 10 minutes to thicken it a bit more. And I served it over brown rice. This will definitely be added to our rotation. Thanks for another great recipe for my instapot!

    I made this recipe with frozen chicken tenders that were frozen together, not individually. Should the cooking time be longer than 4 minutes if the chicken is frozen in a block? After the 10 minutes of NPR, I was surprised that my chicken was still partially frozen. I only recently got my InstaPot so I’m still learning. It was unusual that after 10 minutes there was no residual pressure release. I separated all the chicken tenders and did the 4-minute high-pressure cooking cycle again with 10 minutes NPR. The chicken was definitely overcooked and dry. The flavor was nice though.

    • Karen says

      January 4, 2021 at 12:44 pm

      If it’s a big frozen block then yes it will take longer. Think of the thickness of the meats. When it’s frozen in a block it’s like a 4 inch chicken breast instead of a 1 inch chicken tender.

    This is my favorite recipe. I was leery of the honey because I don’t like sweet meat dishes. It was just the right amount to balance the tartness without make it sweet. I buy chicken tenders especially for this dish plus make tenders from chicken breast on sale. My husband I both love these tenders.

        I’m going to try your recipe tonight. However, I’m a little confused about the time bing the same for thawed or frozen meat. How does that work? In my mind the frozen meat might not be cooked enough or the thawed meat might get dry from overcooking.

        Thank you!

          July 27, 2020 at 2:26 pm

          The pot will take longer to come to pressure with frozen meat. So it should cook all the way through. The thawed chicken will take less time even though you set it for the same amount of time.

    WOW!! Made this tonight for adult kids and husband – everyone LOVED it!! Couldn’t find salsa verde in our regular grocery store in Canada. They carried Tomatillo Salsa which when googled seemed similar. Will definitely make this again and add it to our list of favorite dishes!

      Nice! I am so happy that you liked it. And yes I think tomatillo salsa and salsa verde I the same thing.

    Made it for the first time tonight…but it had a little too much heat for my 7 year old! I used mild salsa…what would you cut back on to reduce the heat???? (Personally I loved it)

      I guess just less salsa, maybe more honey? Or you could NOT reduce down the sauce. That probably made it more spicy and pungent.

    Do you need to cook the tenders longer if frozen?
    We just had the Chicken Fajita Rice tonight and it was a hit. Will try making quesadillas with leftovers.
    Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do with these recipes. We appreciate You.

      I would just increase it by 1 minute for frozen.

    This was incredibly tasty shredded up and eaten in tacos with all of our favourite toppings. I’m looking forward to having the leftovers on a salad on my lunch break today!

    I always look forward to your new recipes; simple and straightforward yet so delicious. Thanks for another keeper!

        For anyone that’s wondering:

        I used chicken breast that I cut into strips (same cook time). I also used bottles lime juice, but I’m really looking forward to using fresh next time. I know it will really take the flavours to the next level.

        I also used a corn starch flurry to thicken the sauce after noticing it hadn’t reduced to my preferred level. I only did this because I was using this in soft tacos. Had I chosen to serve this over veggies or rice, I would have just done the 10 minutes reduction on Saute mode. That would have been the perfect consistency.

    Hi Karen
    Did you get the salsa verde in Costco. I can’t find it in our local grocery store.
    Could I substitute with regular salsa..

    Love your recipes

      I bought a bottle of Herdez salsa verde at my local Smiths. You could try a can of green enchilada sauce. That would be tasty!

    Sooooo good! We ate it with a green salad, and it was incredibly satisfying. The sauce is heavenly. My teenage son couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved it! I’ll definitely be making it again.

    I live out in the boonies and don’t always have fresh limes on hand. Does it change the recipe a lot if I use the refrigerated lime juice? Love your site !!!! Thanks!

      You can use that. It just won’t taste as fresh but it will still be good.

    After looking at the recipe for honey, lime, salsa verde. I only saw 1/2 cup lime juice is this enough liquid for the pot to come to pressure.

      The chicken gives off a lot of liquid so it helps bring the pot to pressure. If you’re concerned you can always throw in a half cup of chicken broth 🙂

      Will you be cutting them up, then I’d use 6 minutes.
