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! 🤩
