Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rub seasoning on chicken (and under skin if desired)
  • Add 1 cup of water to Instant Pot
  • Add trivet and place seasoned chicken on top
  • Set to high pressure for 25 mins
  • Allow for natural pressure release and then check to ensure chicken fully cooked to proper temperature (165 degrees F)
  • Remove and allow chicken to cool before shredding

Notes

Notes about pressure cooking times:

  • It will take around 15 minutes for the pot to come to pressure
  • It will take around 15-20 minutes for a full natural pressure release 
  • Adding that to cooking time, plan for around 1 hour plus time for the chicken to cool and shred it.
