    I love using technology in the kitchen to make my life easier - especially since I have returned to working in Corporate America and have to actually plan meals ahead of time! This Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup Recipe is such an amazingly simple dinner to make during the week!

    Since it makes 4 servings, I can have leftovers for lunch AND dinner the next day. If you have a larger family, just double the recipe and you are good to go!

    Chef's Note When Making This Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup Recipe

    As I have mentioned in many of my slow cooker, pressure cooker and air fryer recipe posts, I absolutely LOVE my Ninja Foodi Pro! The Ninja FD401 Foodi 12-in-1 Deluxe XL 8 qt. Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer that Steams, Slow Cooks, Sears, Sautés, Dehydrates & More, with 5 qt. Crisper Basket, Deluxe Reversible Rack & Recipe Book can be found for under $180 on Amazon now! It has so many functions: programmable cooking functions to Pressure Cook, Air Fry/Air Crisp, Steam, Slow Cook, Yogurt, Sear/Sauté, Bake/Roast, Broil, Dehydrate, Sous Vide & Keep Warm.

    I also highly recommend using Air Fryer Disposable Parchment Paper Cooking Paper for Air Fryers if you want to skip a messy clean up! Get it here on Amazon!
