How to Shred Chicken for Enchilada Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to a thick and flavorful Instant Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup<\/strong> is to shred the chicken so it gets fully covered in tasty broth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To shred your chicken, remove it from the Instant Pot to a cutting board after cooking it through under pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can shred the chicken using two large forks to pull the chicken breasts apart into shreds. They also make dedicated shredding tools to help speed up the job. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yes! However, be careful not to fill your cooking pot past the max fill line. If needed, add just one can of enchilada sauce before pressure cooking and then add the second can when you add the black beans and corn.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
