    Easy Keto Instant Pot Chile Verde- Low Carb , Keto, Paleo & Whole 30.

    I love making this recipe in the slow cooker, but I was pleasantly surprised at how tender and beautifully flavored this Chile Verde Pork turned out in the Instant PotⓇ.

    Less than an hour to make a dish that normal slow cooks for at least 8 hours! Hands down, my favorite new way to make this recipe by using the electric pressure cooker/ multicooker.

    Easy Keto Instant Pot Chile Verde- Low Carb , Keto, Paleo & Whole 30.

    Easy Keto Instant Pot Chile Verde

     Easy Keto Instant PotⓇ Chile Verde

    Ingredients:

    • 2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 6 pieces (or can use the pre-cut pork stew meat)
    • 1 ½ tbsp avocado oil, or olive oil
    • 1 tsp sea salt
    • ½ tsp black pepper
    • 1 ½  cup salsa verde,  I used Herdez brand (or can also use my homemade salsa verde recipe)
    • 1  cup chicken broth

    Recommended Products:

    Directions:

    1. Rub the pork pieces with salt and pepper. Select Saute and add the avocado oil to the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
    2. Once the Instant Pot is hot, sear pork pieces on all sides until browned for about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
    3. In a large bowl combine salsa verde and chicken broth and stir.  Pour the salsa with chicken broth over the pork in the Instant Pot.
    4. Close and lock the lid.  Turn the pressure release handle to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook (Manual) on High Pressure and set the timer for 40 minutes using the + or - buttons.
    5. The Instant pot will take a while to start, then it will beep, and a countdown will begin.
    6. Once cooking time is complete, let the pressure Naturally Release for 10 minutes (just let the pot sit for 10 minutes) and then Quick Release the remaining pressure (carefully use a wooden spoon to press the release handle to” Vent” while keeping your hands and face away from the steam).
    7. Once all pressure is released, remove the lid. Remove the pork from Instant Pot, place on a platter and shred the pork pieces with two forks (the meat should fall apart very easily).
    8. Add the shredded pork back to the sauce in the Instant Pot, stir to combine, and serve.

      This recipe is a GIFT. I made it earlier in the week and it was wonderful! I used a salsa verde from Trader Joes's - and I will definitely do it again! My husband loved it too. Thank you!

        • Hi, I’ve made this in the past and absolutely loved it. I’m wondering if I use half the amount of pork I only have a small probably less than 1 pound to use. Do I still cook for the 40 minutes or do I change it to 30 minutes?melissa

      So first off i loved this recipe! so simple! i did double it to use for meal prep for 2 people. I ended up using 6 pounds of pork and doubling the liquid. it came out as a soup. a very very tasty soup that i served with fresh cabbage, low fat sour cream, roasted peppers, avocado, cotija cheese, and fresh lime. the fresh lime was the perfect finisher! next time i double the meat i will not double the liquid and then i should be able to get a nice shred for tacos. ALSO! if you do double the liquid your instant pot will take about 30 minutes to come to pressure. so account for that in the cooking time. such a great recipe! thanks for sharing!

        Thank you so much, Spencer, 🙂 Yes, you do not need to double the liquid when you double the meat in this one.

        Yes, Renee, you can make this from frozen. Just add 5 minutes to the cook time (45).

      How would you adjust the time if you used cubed stew meat? Should I just do the same time since I'm going to use four pounds?

        Yes, the same time for the same weight. I use cubed stew meat as well sometimes when I can find it.

      Hi, I don't have an Instant Pot, only a crockpot, how long should I set it for? Low or High?

      • Stacey

        July 19, 2018 at 1:56 pm

        Karen, I would think the slow cooker would be 4 to 6 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low.

      Will have to try this recipe but I was wondering can I swap the pork with chicken breast or chicken thighs? If so would the other ingredients measurements and cooking time change? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 💞

        Yes, you can use chicken, but the time will be different. About 8 to 10 minutes per pound of boneless chicken breasts. So about 16 to 20 minutes for 2 lbs of boneless chicken
