My wonderful friend gave me an Instant Pot as a Christmas gift a few years ago, and boy am I grateful. It has come in handy so many times. Whenever I am in a rush to make dinner and need something whipped up quickly, my Instant Pot is a go to. I have made many pulled chicken recipes with it since the chicken stays moist and doesn’t tend to dry out too easily. This recipe is super easy and tastes delicious!

- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions
- Add olive oil to Instant Pot pressure cooker placing chicken on top.
- Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, and pepper over the chicken. Pour over water and barbecue sauce.
- Place lid on the pot, making sure the vent is on the sealing position. Pressure cook for 10 minutes.
- After the Instant Pot notifies the time is complete, allow the pressure cooker to release naturally for 10 minutes. Quick release whatever remains and remove the lid.
- Shred the chicken on a flat surface with two forks and place back into the Instant Pot, allowing the chicken to soak up all juice.
- Pile up the chicken on your favorite bun, and enjoy!
