Ingredients

2 lbs boneless and skinless chicken ½ chicken breast, ½ chicken thighs
1 cup chicken broth
2 Tablespoon bbq seasoning
1.5 cup bbq sauce

Instructions

Place chicken, chicken broth, and bbq seasoning in pressure cooker insert.
Close and cook high pressure for 14 min.
After the 14 minutes, allow the pressure cooker to naturally release for 10 min. Quick release any remaining pressure.
Remove chicken and place in a large bowl and shred. Add bbq sauce and serve how you like.

Notes

I prefer to use a combo of chicken breast and thighs for this recipe for optimal texture and flavor. You can use one or the other if you choose.
This is great to use as sandwiches, over rice, on pizza, and so much more.
Do not add the bbq sauce to the pressure cooker while it is pressure cooking.
