Gather your ingredients. Preheat your Instant Pot by setting it to sauté. Add olive oil to the bottom of the inner pot.
Lay the chicken pieces in the bottom. Pour sauce over the pieces, then sprinkle seasonings over the top. Place lid on Instant Pot and close the sealing lever.
Press cancel to end the sauté, then set the the pot to cook at high pressure for 12 minutes. When the cooking cycle is over, allow Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Then, initiate a quick release by turning the sealing lever.
Serve the salsa chicken as-is over cooked rice, or shred to use in burritos, tacos, enchiladas, or soup.
