Zutaten

  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 lbs raw chicken breast
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Anleitungen

  • Place the chicken breasts into the Instant Pot and pour in the broth along with all the seasonings. Stir to distribute the spices evenly.
  • Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is set to seal, then program the Instant Pot to cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • When the cooking time concludes, allow the pressure to release naturally for 8 to 10 minutes. If any pressure remains, perform a quick release.
  • Transfer the chicken and approximately one cup of the cooking liquid to a bowl. Using either two forks or a hand mixer, shred the chicken until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Storage: Keep the shredded chicken and its cooking juices in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 4 days.
