How to Make Shredded Chicken in the Instant Pot

Not kidding here, it took us 16 months to take our Instant Pot out of the box. I was SO. SCARED. and I don't know why. I was just certain that it was going to blow the roof off of our house. I actually made Scott try it first. He made some sort of chicken dish. After that, I started making our boiled eggs and quinoa in it each week. And then that's all I did. Until last night when we made our weekly chili in it. SO FAST. What I normally leave in the crock pot for hours and hours took less than 40 minutes. But this isn't about chili, this is about chicken. I used to always make our chicken by boiling it on the stove. I even wrote about how to boil chicken here. I love it because it keeps the chicken juicy...we actually hate baked chicken because it's always so dry! The Instant Pot did the same thing but in less time and hands off (I only had to shred it, instead of monitor it the whole time to see when it started boiling, etc).

We have the 6 quart Instant Pot (it has over 22,000 customer reviews on Amazon with 4.5 stars!
