Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Recipe | SIMPLE Instant Pot Recipes for Beginners

chicken

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Skinless chicken is lower in fat; chicken thighs are often cheaper than breasts.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade barbecue sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar; ketchup is a budget-friendly alternative.

Add 2 large chicken breasts to the bottom of the Instant Pot with a little bit of olive oil.

Pour in about 1 cup of broth.

Add about 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce on top of the chicken.

Close the lid of the Instant Pot.

Set to manual for 10 minutes and wait for a natural release for 10 minutes.

After the natural release, open the lid carefully to avoid steam.

Shred the chicken using two forks.

Scoop out some of the excess liquid to avoid a watery consistency.

Put the shredded chicken back in the pot and add about 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce.

Set the Instant Pot to sauté to warm everything and combine.
