Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

30 minutes

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

1/4 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons of your favorite seasoning (I used a combination of garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and season with salt and pepper.

2. Pour the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, and seasoning over the chicken and stir to combine.

3. Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Select the “Manual” setting and adjust the cooking time to 10 minutes.

4. When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to venting to release the remaining pressure.

5. Carefully remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken.

6. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is heated through and slightly crisp.

7. Serve with your favorite sides, or in tacos, sandwiches, salads, and more.

Equipment

Instant Pot

Large skillet

Two forks

Notes

You can use your favorite BBQ sauce for this recipe. I like to use a combination of my favorite store-bought sauce and my own homemade sauce. For extra flavor, try adding a splash of apple cider vinegar.

Recipe Tips

This recipe is great with any type of BBQ sauce, but you can also experiment with other flavors. Try adding some hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or even some honey and mustard. You can also adjust the seasoning to your taste. For a spicier version, add more chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper. For a sweeter version, add more brown sugar or honey. You can also add some diced onions or bell peppers to the Instant Pot for extra flavor.

This recipe is also great for meal prepping. The pulled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chicken is also freezer-friendly and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then heat in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
