Description

Instant Pot shredded chicken is incredibly easy and oh so delicious. Bonus: you get the best FAILSAFE chicken broth to enjoy alongside your chicken. 

Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Place metal trivet in the bottom of your instant pot and add your chicken and water. Sprinkle with salt (to taste).
  2. Close the lid and, using pressure cooker setting, set timer for 12 minutes for fresh and 16 minutes for frozen chicken. If using frozen chicken, allow to sit for 10 minutes to release pressure naturally. Internal temperature should be 165°F/74°C or above when fully cooked.

  3. Remove the chicken from the instant pot and shred using two forks, a stand mixer, or a hand mixer. Reserve the broth for another use (I store mine in mason jars and freeze)!
