Can I Use Chicken Breast Instead Of Chicken Thighs?
Yes, you can use chicken breast if you’d rather. I prefer the flavor and texture of chicken thighs because they are fattier meat, and they are are so moist and juicy.
However, if you find yourself getting a great deal on chicken breasts, then, by all means, use them up. The texture will be a little bit different, but it will still taste terrific.

How To Make Keto Taco Soup
Add the chicken, onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, seasonings, and chicken broth to your pressure cooker. Do not add the cream cheese, shredded cheese, or cilantro yet.
Seal the pressure cooker and cook on manual for 18 minutes. Then do a quick release and remove the lid very carefully.
Shred the chicken by using two forks, or remove the chicken and chop it into chunks instead.
Turn on the saute function on the pressure cooker and stir in cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Stir until they have melted.
Add extra cheese on top and some chopped cilantro and serve hot.
Optional Topping Ideas
We usually stick with cheese or cilantro for toppings, but there are many low carb options out there too.
Diced jalapeños, avocado slices, tomatoes, or lime juice would also be lovely toppings.
