For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken.
Feel free to experiment with different salsa varieties! A roasted tomato salsa or a salsa verde would both be delicious.
If you don't have low-sodium chicken broth, you can use regular chicken broth but be mindful of the salt content in your taco seasoning.
For easier shredding, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes after releasing the pressure before shredding.
