Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chicken Broth or Water
  • 2 lbs Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Pepper

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to the Instant Pot inner pot and stir to combine.
  • Close and seal lid and set manual high pressure for 10 minutes. It should take about 10 minutes to come to pressure before it starts counting down.
  • When the cook time is done, let it naturally release pressure for about 10 minutes. Then manually do a quick release of pressure.
  • Remove about half of the liquid and then use two forks to shred chicken in remaining liquid.
  • If freezing, let cool completely and then transfer to quart size freezer bags. Remove all air from freezer bags and seal.
