    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

    If you are making this delicious soup during a busy week, just know that it takes about 10 minutes to prepare the soup and about 20 minutes for it to cook in your Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi! 

    I absolutely love using my Ninja Foodi – I have the combo that is a slow cooker, pressure cooker AND an air fryer, and it has really made meal planning so much easier for me, and I love the variety of recipes that can be made in an Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi, like this Instant Pot Recipe!
