“I think they’re deceptive,” Galvin told WCVB. “The wide disparity of pricing practices reveals the fact that these are not based upon actual costs. I think they’re basing it on opportunity. They see the rhetoric is out there. They know the hysteria is out there.”

Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin

Recipe of the Week

Ingredients

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups salsa, or 1 16 oz jar

tortilla, to serve

pico de gallo, to serve

guacamole, to serve

sour cream, to serve

Directions

Place chicken breasts inside the Instant Pot.

Add the chili powder, ground cumin, pepper, and garlic and toss until the chicken is coated on both sides. Add the salsa.

Seal the lid in place until you hear the beep. Tip: Closing the lid can be tricky. Have the pressure knob at 11 o’clock and turn right.

Press “Poultry” and set time to 13 minutes. Set pressure knob to “Sealing”.

Steam will release and the screen will say “On” before it starts counting down.

Once the timer goes off, carefully turn the pressure knob to “Venting”. Let all of the stream release before opening the lid.

Shred the chicken with two forks.

Serve with tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, or other desired toppings.
