Instant Pot Shredded Chicken
This Instant Pot shredded chicken is the perfect filling for tacos or burritos, or add it to a salad and make sandwiches. Seasoned chicken thighs are cooked to perfection in only 14 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless, or a combination of chicken breasts and thighs
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, or another blend, depending on how you plan to serve the chicken
- Dash kosher salt
- Dash pepper
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken and Instant Pot: Place a trivet in the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season the chicken all over with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper, and place it on the trivet.
- Pressure Cook: Lock the lid in place and make sure the steam release valve is in the sealing position. Choose pressure cook (or manual on older models) and set the time to 14 minutes. When the time is up, allow a natural release for 10 minutes. Carefully release the remaining pressure.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken pieces to a bowl or tray and chop or shred with 2 forks.
