Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 10 servings

Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts on the Instant Pot.
  • Add chicken broth and seasonings.
  • Place cover on Instant Pot and turn vent to closed position.
  • Cook on high pressure for 16 minutes if chicken breasts are larger sized. If chicken breasts are small to medium sized cook on high pressure for 14 minutes.
  • Manually release the pressure until the pin releases on the lid of the pot.
  • Remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to the pot to allow it to soak- up the broth. Store chicken in a sealed container for up to 4-5 days. To freeze, place chicken (I typically freeze in 2 cup portions) in a freezer safe sealable bag. Lay flat and push out the air before sealing. Store in freezer till ready to use.
