Skinny Instant Pot Hawaiian Barbecue Tacos

Sweet meets savory in this delicious adaptation of a Six Sisters’ recipe, Skinny Instant Pot Hawaiian Barbecue Tacos. I’m not exaggerating, this is absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to hear from anyone who tries this one. It’s got the tender and savory chicken with a tangy barbecue sauce, balanced out by the sweetness of pineapple and zero-calorie brown sugar. Definitely chef’s kiss-worthy!

Cooking the Chicken:

• Red Onion: for flavor.
• Jalapeno: for flavor.

• Minced Garlic: for flavor.
• Yellow Mustard: for tangy flavor.
