Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts approx 3lbs You can substitute thighs if you prefer.
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pour chicken broth in the insert of your Instant Pot.
- In a small bowl combine onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Sprinkle chicken with onion powder, garlic powder and salt. If the chicken is frozen you can just stir this blend into the broth instead.
- Add the chicken breasts to the Instant Pot. It is ok to stack them on top of one another. If they are frozen make sure to separate them into individual pieces before adding to the pot so they will cook evenly.
- Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to SEALING. Set to cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 10 minutes.
- When the timer goes off let it do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes before turning the valve to VENTING and releasing the excess steam.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and discard the liquid ( I freeze mine to add to chicken broth at a later time). Let the chicken cool until you can handle it and shred.
- Use immediately or follow the instructions in the blog post for how to refrigerate or freeze.
Notes
- Note: These nutritional values were calculated based on using boneless, skinless, chicken breasts.
