CHICKEN CARNITAS-RESTAURANT STYLE-EASY!
So we have a favorite mexican restaurant we love to go to and we decided to try to make our favorite dish from there at home...with 4 kiddos at home cooking in is often easier (OK...it's ALWAYS easier) and definitely more cost effective. This is a little like fajitas but isn't grilled and has a more delicate flavor. If doubling the recipe I would recomend cooking 1 batch and then another-that way the skillet can stay hot enough and the chicken and vegetables don't just steam in the pan-you want them to carmelize a bit. Serve with lime, shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro and guacamole.

Steps:
- After prepping the food heat a large heavy skillet over med-hi to high heat and add the butter and olive oil and allow them to bubble and get sizzling. Add the chicken and spread evenly into pan. Watch the heat and adjust the temp as needed! You need the skillet to be hot yet you dont want to scorch the chicken or oil.
- Stir fry chicken for about 4 mins and then add the onion and peppers. You may need to increase the heat for a bit if the skillet cools down too much-remember we want the chicken and veggies to carmelize a bit. If needed add a bit more butter or olive oil.
- Let veggies and chicken cook at least 4 more minutes and then sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. 1/2 tsp is about what I use but it's just an estimate-please go heavy or light depending on your preference.
- At this point if you can tell the chicken is done(test a piece if needed) then stir in the A-1 sauce and let the chicken and veggies cook about 1 minute or so.
- Serve with the flour tortillas and top with shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, and guacamole. A squeeze of lime is also good. I love to serve with pot scrubbers mexican rice and mashed pinto beans.

Steps:
- Combine cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle over chicken breasts on both sides.
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sear chicken breasts, 1 to 2 minutes per side, working in batches so chicken sears rather than steams. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Add garlic and onion to the hot cooker; cook and stir until browned evenly on all sides, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to the pressure cooker along with lime juice, chicken broth, cilantro, chipotle pepper with 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, orange zest and juice, and bay leaf. Close and lock the lid. Set timer for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on size of chicken breasts.
- Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, milk, chipotle pepper and 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, salt, and garlic powder to an electric blender. Blend chipotle sauce until smooth.
- Release pressure from the cooker using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Transfer chicken breasts to a clean surface and reserve cooking liquid. Shred chicken meat using 2 forks. Place in a large bowl and drizzle 1/4 cup cooking liquid over chicken; toss to coat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over the surface of a baking sheet. Add chicken to the sheet and drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil on top. Stir to coat evenly.
- Broil chicken in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Toss chicken with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid and rotate the pan for even broiling. Continue broiling until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve with chipotle sauce.

MEXICAN CARNITAS
Ever hear of carnitas? They're easy-to-make pork crisps that are very popular in Mexico. The secret to this recipe is the quick frying. Be sure the meat is well drained before it's placed in oil, though, or it will splatter and pop. -Patricia Collins, Imbler, Oregon
