Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pour broth into your instant pot, then place the chicken on top. Pour bbq sauce on top of the chicken, then add the spices.
  • Close the lid, and make sure the valve on top is in the "seal" position. Pressure cook for 15 minutes, then natural release for 10 minutes before manually releasing the rest of the pressure.
  • Remove chicken and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken, then place it back into your Instant Pot and stir everything together. Enjoy!
