This six-ingredient Instant Pot Shredded Chicken with BBQ sauce is a 30-minute one-pot weeknight dinner that makes excellent leftovers and is delicious enough to serve for entertaining!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/strong>: This Instant Pot BBQ chicken recipe is one of the EASIEST on our site. It\u2019s easy to pair with your favorite barbecue sides, makes delicious sandwiches, and is totally kid-approved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This easy pulled chicken recipe is the one we recommend to first time Instant Pot users<\/a>. (If you’re new, we have a step-by-step breakdown of this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a simple recipe that helps you get to know the main buttons on your new pressure cooker, and it also plays to the device’s strengths: juicy, tender, shreddable chicken ready in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still not confident, even with this beginner’s recipe?<\/strong><\/em> This Instant Pot Shredded Chicken<\/strong> recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This 3-minute shredded chicken recipe uses just six ingredients. We make this recipe all the time for family meals. It\u2019s adapted from a recipe in our cookbook The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use any BBQ sauce you like for this recipe. If you like, make your own! For added flavor, a dash of liquid smoke goes a long way. The garlic and onion will become soft and tender when pressure cooked. So when you remove the Instant Pot lid, you\u2019ll have juicy chicken in a super flavorful barbecue sauce to dice or shred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the best things about an Instant Pot is that you don\u2019t have to thaw your meat first! If you\u2019re using frozen chicken breast for this recipe, simply add three minutes to the cook time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel free to double the recipe for BBQ pulled chicken to feed a crowd. No need to change anything in the recipe or cook time, just be sure not to fill your pressure cooking pot past the \u201cMax Fill\u201d line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re using an Instant Pot mini or want to half the recipe, go right ahead. No need to make any changes to the cooking time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use bone-in chicken breast. Because you want them to become fall-apart tender and release from the bone easily, I recommend a 12 minute cook time at High Pressure, followed by a 5 minute natural pressure release, then finish with a quick pressure release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can serve this Instant Pot BBQ Chicken straight from the pot with a hearty side like Creamy Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes<\/a> and Pressure Cooker Corn on the Cob<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, make sandwiches with toasted rolls (we love these Dinner Rolls<\/a> from Barbara Bakes) and toppings like extra sauce, pickles and slaw. You can also serve this pulled chicken as a salad over greens or make a bowl with cooked grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can store leftover shredded chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. It makes great sandwiches for lunch the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For longer storage, keep the chicken in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. Let the chicken defrost in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the Instant Pot or on the stove to serve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We love whipping up fast chicken dinner recipes in the Instant Pot \/ pressure cooker.
