Shredded chicken has never been easier.
Most Instant Pot recipes require one cup of some type of liquid. I have always used a variety of sauces as my liquid. This recipe features teriyaki sauce.
Instant Pots can cook meat from both a frozen or unthawed state quickly. I normally just cook meat from frozen since I usually forget to take it out to unthaw in the morning.
For this recipe, I poured one cup of teriyaki sauce into the pot, added three frozen chicken breasts and cooked on high pressure for 20 minutes. I then did a quick release (flip the button to vent and all the steam releases within a few minutes) and opened up the lid to three perfectly cooked chicken breasts.
This is where it gets good . . .
Use a hand mixer to shred the chicken. It finely shreds the chicken in seconds and mixes in the excess teriyaki sauce keeping the meat moist.
I normally eat the shredded chicken on salad without even bothering to add salad dressing. However, it can be also be eaten alone, on rice or with anything else you wish.
I used this recipe as a guide but made a number of changes as described above.
This is so cool! I am definitely going to be trying it very soon!!

This looks delicious! Are you worried about using your instant pot ever though because of some of the horror stories you hear about it “blowing” up?

Wow, I didn’t know you can cook things from frozen, I really need to get my hands on one of these! I often find that University and work life catch up to me and more often than not cereal is the only meal I can whip up within a matter of minutes. I also love how you can use the hand mixer to shred your chicken! However, I learnt from someone that chicken tends to fly EVERYWHERE. This is great, I am glad you are enjoying it!
