Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Fajitas

Instant Pot Chicken Fajitas are a family favorite! The instant pot fajitas simmer in a flavorful broth that can then be drizzled over the fajitas before serving. We love this healthy and easy instant pot dinner.

I love all things Mexican food and Tex-Mex inspired dishes. Some other favorites are Instant Pot Salsa Chicken Tacos, Instant Pot Chicken Enchiladas, Instant Pot Taco Stuffed Peppers, and Instant Pot Cheesy Taco Pasta. All of these recipes are so good! Make sure you check out our Instant Pot Cookbook, too. These instant pot fajitas were featured in the cookbook!

How to make instant pot chicken fajitas?

This chicken fajita recipe is a dump and go recipe – my favorite kind. All you need to do is prep the chicken and vegetables, toss them in the instant pot with chicken broth, diced green chilies, lime juice, and taco seasoning. Pressure cook the fajitas for 12 minutes, natural release, and serve!
