Learn how to make Instant Pot Shredded Chicken for a moist, flavorful, and tender protein you can use in lunches, dinners, and more. It’s the best meal prep secret you can make with fresh or frozen chicken!
Add the chicken breasts to the instant pot. Sprinkle the seasonings on top of the chicken, then pour in the broth.
Cover and seal the lid, and turn the vent to sealing. Press the MANUAL (high pressure) button and set the timer to 13 minutes (16 minutes for frozen chicken). It will take about 10 minutes for Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.
Once the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
Shred the chicken using two forks, or a stand mixer.
Use immediately or store, tightly sealed, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
