Ingredients
2 lbs chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1 cup chicken broth (no sugar added)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place chicken breasts into the Instant Pot insert.
Combine chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt in a small bowl.
Pour the mixture directly over the chicken to cover evenly.
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing.
Program the device to cook on high pressure for exactly 10 minutes.
Wait for 5 minutes after the timer ends before initiating a manual pressure release.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot using tongs.
Shred the meat using two forks on a large cutting board.
Return the shredded chicken to the liquid for extra moisture before serving.
Notes
Always allow a natural pressure release for at least five minutes to keep fibers tender. Use room temperature chicken rather than frozen for more even heat distribution throughout the cooking process. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
