Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

January 11, 2018 Mary Chan

Always having pre-cooked protein in the fridge is one of my top kitchen practices. And what is an easier way to make a big batch of shredded chicken than the Instant Pot?  

Here is what you need:

  • Instant Pot
  • 1 steamer rack
  • 1 steamer basket
  • 4 chicken breasts (skin on or off)
  • 1 cup of water

Here is how you do it:

  1. Add 1 cup of water to Instant Pot.
  2. Put a steamer rack down, add 2 pieces of chicken breasts on top.
  3. Layer a steamer basket on top of the first tier of chicken breasts. Put 2 more pieces of chicken breasts on top to create a second tier.
  4. Close the lid and cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.
  5. When the timer is up, leave the chicken breasts in Instant Pot for 10 minutes to de-pressurize (even if the floating valve drops before the 10-minute mark.)
  6. Open the lid. Take out the chicken breasts and set them on a plate to cool off for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Shred the chicken breasts with your hands or 2 forks.
  8. Store them in containers. Refrigerate or freeze.

What do you do do with a big stash of shredded chicken? I fortify my noodle soups and lentil soups with the extra protein and make delicious salads and stir-fries with it.
