This salsa chicken Instant Pot recipe makes an easy weeknight meal even easier. Frozen chicken breasts are combined with taco seasoning and salsa for a tasty Mexican-themed meal. You can use the meat for tacos, burrito bowls, or as a topping for baked potatoes. So many possibilities! I used this the first night for chicken quesadillas. The second night I used it as a topping for baked potatoes with shredded cheese, pickled jalapeños, and sour cream.

Bacon and Dill Pickle Cheese Ball
Set this cheese ball out at a party and it will disappear like magic before your eyes. I like to serve it with plain potato chips or real dill pickle-flavored potato chips instead of the artificially flavored ones. Crackers and raw veggies work too.
Garlic and Citrus Mojo Pork
For this garlic and citrus mojo pork, pork shoulder is marinated in a Caribbean inspired marinade. Serve with baked beans and fresh lime.
