Instructions

Instant Pot: Place the trivet down inside the Instant Pot. Place the chicken thighs on top of the trivet, leaving the marinade in the baggy. Pour 1/2 cup of water in the bottom. Secure the lid and and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes. Allow the pressure to vent naturally for 5 minutes before releasing the vent. Let chicken rest at least 5 minutes before cutting into small chunks. Taste and season with salt if needed. Reserve 4 thighs for Cuban Chicken Plantain Bowls.
While cooking chicken, in a separate large pan, over medium high heat (to get browning), add a little olive oil and the Sliced Pepper and Onions. Cook for 8-12 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat once they are soft and browned.
Heat 1/2 of the Verde Black Beans in the microwave until warmed through.
Rough chop all of the romaine lettuce. Put 2/3 of it in a baggy to be used for Pesto Chicken Italian Salad and Cuban Chicken Plantain Bowls.
Using your cheese grater, shred about 2 cups (or the whole block if you prefer) of the quesadilla cheese. Place 1/2 in a baggy and refrigerate for Cuban Chicken Plantain Bowls.
Warm the tortillas through over medium heat in one of the pans for about 30 seconds each side. Remove and place on plate covered in foil or a towel to keep warm.
To assemble the tacos, place two tortillas on each plate and add the cheese (so it melts into the tortilla a bit) and romaine. Top with the cooked peppers and onions, chunked chicken, pineapple chunks, Cilantro, and leftover salsa verde. Serve with black beans on the side (add a little cheese if you like).

Stovetop

In a large cast iron pan or large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium/medium high heat. Take the chicken thighs out of the marinade one by one and shake off into the bag the excess marinade and add to the heated skillet as you go. You will probably need to do two batches. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on one side until nicely browned and flip the chicken. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Taste and season with salt if needed. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.
