Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker)
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup water or chicken broth
- salt, pepper, and other seasonings of choice
Instructions
- Arrange chicken breasts in the Instant Pot in a single layer.
- Season with salt, pepper, and other seasonings of choice.
- Add 1 cup water or chicken broth to the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid, ensure the valve is set to sealing, then cook on high pressure for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 ℉.
- When the timer goes off, quick release the pressure. Use two forks or a hand mixer to shred the chicken.
Notes
If using large chicken breasts, allow 12 minutes to cook. When I purchase the large Costco chicken breasts, they are around 8 ounces each and take the full 12 minutes to cook. Smaller sized chicken breasts will cook through in around 10 minutes.
