• Cut the vegetables into ½-inch slices and the chicken into slightly thinner strips to ensure even cooking.

2. Layer in the Instant Pot

• Add ingredients in this order: onions, bell peppers, chicken, olive oil, lime zest & juice, water (or broth), and fajita seasoning.

3. Pressure Cook

• Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure release valve to sealing.
• Select Pressure Cook (High Pressure) for 4 minutes.

4. Quick Release & Serve

• When the cooking time is up, perform a quick release by turning the valve to venting.
• Remove the lid and toss everything together.
• Serve warm with your favorite fajita toppings!

Tips for Perfect Fajitas

• For crisper veggies, sauté them first, set them aside, then pressure-cook the chicken separately. Add the veggies back in at the end.
• No extra liquid needed! The vegetables release moisture while cooking, keeping everything juicy and flavorful.
