1 ½ cupsbarbecue sauce

1 cupchicken broth

1 ½ tablespoonsapple cider vinegar

1 ½ teaspoonsminced garlic

½ teaspoonchili powder

2 poundsboneless skinless chicken breasts

or chicken thighs, I used a combination of both

or pretzel buns, for serving

Instructions

Step 1

In the Instant Pot™, whisk together half (3/4 cup) of the barbecue sauce, the chicken broth, the apple cider vinegar, the minced garlic, the chili powder and salt and pepper, to taste

Step 2

Place the chicken into the pot, ensuring it is covered by the sauce.

Step 3

Close the lid and engage the steam release valve so it's sealed. Set the pot to high pressure for 18 minutes cook time. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize, at which point the cook time will begin. The Instant Pot™ should alert you when the cook time ends, and that's when you should allow the pot to depressurize for about 10 minutes on its own. After about 10 minutes, you can move the steam release valve to vent so the steam releases and the pin drops down. Carefully open the pot and, using a meat thermometer, check to make sure the chicken has reached 165 degrees F.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot™ and put it into a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken (you won't believe how easily it comes apart).

Step 5

Add the remaining 3/4 cup of barbecue sauce into the sauce in the pot and whisk to combine.

Step 6

Place the pulled chicken into the sauce in the pot and stir until it's thoroughly coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Serve chicken directly from the pot onto buns, rice or pasta, etc.
