This is a versatile recipe for chicken. Once prepared, you can use the chicken in tacos, casseroles, beside vegetables on a plate, on sandwiches, etc. This particular recipe has a southwestern flair, but you can change out the flavor packet and make varieties based on your tastes and preference.
The easiest way to prepare this is by using an Instant Pot. If you do not have one, I highly recommend getting one.
