Categories     Costa Rican Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole chicken (or four chicken breasts)
1-2 TB salt (see notes)
1-2 TB chicken stock cubes
1 -2 TB soy sauce
1/2 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
1/2 white onion, roughly chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, with stems, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves (or garlic powder)
2-3 Tablespoons Salsa Lizano
6-8 cups water (see notes)

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients into the pressure cooker. (I normally use an electric pressure cooker like the Instant Pot). Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the meat from the pressure cooker and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Strain the chicken broth through a fine-mesh strainer and place it in an airtight container where it can last for up to 2 weeks. I usually put the broth in mason jars, or freeze it in plastic gallon bags for later.
  • Shred the chicken using two forks or your hands. Authentic Costa Rican shredded chicken is shredded very finely, so I use my hands for this.
  • Season with extra salt and pepper if desired, and store for up to a week in an airtight container, or freeze.
