Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.35kg) boneless skinless chicken breast and thighs
- 3 tablespoons BBQ Rub more or less, to taste
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 cup (240ml) BBQ sauce
- 12 sandwich buns or sandwich rolls or slider buns
- coleslaw for serving
Instructions
- Combine the chicken and BBQ rub in a bowl and set it aside.
- Add broth to Instant Pot insert. Add chicken in, pushing chicken down as much as possible under the liquid.
- Cover and seal your pot. Select Pressure Cook/Manual on high pressure for 15 minutes.
- Allow for a natural pressure release of 10 minutes, then perform a quick pressure release.
- Remove chicken from your Instant Pot and set onto a plate or bowl. Shred your chicken.
- Remove liquid from Instant Pot and add chicken back in. Next, add about half a cup of the cooking liquid with 1 cup of BBQ sauce (or more, to your taste) and stir it all together.
To make BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches:

- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Cut chicken breasts to about the size of your chicken thighs.
- Use reduced sodium chicken broth, especially if your barbeque rub already has salt in it.
- If you prefer, you can brown the chicken before cooking it.
- Using a mix of chicken breast and thighs is the best combination of flavor.
- 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.
- To make reheating easier, freeze in the right portion sizes that you need for the future.
- 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.
- There are 7 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this.
