Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken stock/broth or water
- 3 - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add chicken broth/stock to Instant pot and place trivet in the inner pot.
- Season chicken breasts with seasonings and place on the trivet in the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid, turn the valve to ‘Sealing’ and pressure cook for 7 minutes on High pressure. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then carefully release the remaining pressure by turning the valve on the Instant pot lid.
- When all the pressure is released and the pin has dropped, carefully open the lid, and remove the chicken breasts to a plate and let rest for 5 - 10 minutes.
- Using two forks, shred chicken breasts.
Notes
- Use the trivet in your Instant Pot for this recipe.
- Naturally release pressure for 5 minutes before quickly releasing the remaining pressure. This will ensure that the chicken is juicy, tender, and fully cooked.
- You can use frozen chicken but increase the cooking time to 15 - 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts or thighs.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before shredding it. This allows the juices to redistribute so that your chicken isn't dry. But don't refrigerate it before shredding it, chicken shreds easiest when it is warm.
- Add some of the cooking liquid back to the shredded chicken for moisture and flavor.
