Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

Step 1

Place chicken broth and pineapple juice in the bottom of Instant Pot insert. You don’t need to use the rack for this recipe.

Step 2

Stir together all seasonings and sprinkle generously over both sides of the chicken. Place chicken in the liquid.

Step 3

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock, make sure the seal is set to closed so the steam will stay in. Press “pressure cook” or “on” and set the pressure to high for 10 minutes. On newer models, turn off the “warm” setting so the machine will start.

Step 4

It will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure, then the countdown will start for the 10 minute timer. When the machine is done, let it naturally release for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Use a kitchen utensil to open the valve and let any steam out of the pot. Unlock the lid and remove the chicken. Shred with two forks.

Step 6

Store chicken in an airtight container with some of the cooking liquid to keep it moist. Will keep up to 3-4 days in refrigerator.

Step 7

This is a great recipe to use to meal prep lunches and quick dinners during the week.
