Description

Craving a meal that’s juicy, flavorful, and ridiculously easy? This Instant Pot Shredded Chicken is a game changer! Perfect for tacos, salads, sandwiches, or meal prepping—it’s tender, perfectly seasoned, and ready in no time. 🥰🔥


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra juiciness)

Instructions

  • Prep the Chicken – Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot.
  • Season – Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano evenly over the chicken.
  • Add Liquid – Pour in the chicken broth (or water). This keeps the chicken moist and helps build flavor.
  • Pressure Cook – Seal the lid, set to High Pressure, and cook for 10 minutes (or 12 minutes if using frozen chicken).
  • Natural Release – Let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  • Shred – Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot (for extra moisture) or transfer to a bowl and shred.
  • Serve & Enjoy! Use in tacos, wraps, salads, or sandwiches—endless possibilities! 🤩
