Notes
- Use reduced sodium chicken broth, especially if your BBQ rub already has salt in it.
- Cut chicken breasts to about the size of your chicken thighs it helps everything cook more evenly and makes it all easier to shred.
- To keep the chicken juicy and avoid a burn notice, make sure you’re
- covering your chicken as much as you can with the chicken broth.
- If you are preparing these nachos ahead of time, you can make the chicken but wait for the nacho chips until you’re ready to eat them so the chips don’t get soggy.
- The total cook time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to get to pressure and the time for the natural pressure release.
