Step 1 – Place 3-4 chicken breasts in your Instant Pot
Step 2 – Smother your chicken breast in BBQ sauce.

BBQ Chicken in Instant Pot
Ingredients:
- 3-4 Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 bottle (or 20oz) of BBQ Sauce (just make sure your chicken breasts are smothered in sauce)
Instructions:
- Place chicken breasts in Instant Pot
- Cover with BBQ sauce
- Pressure for 45 minutes on the meat setting
- When cooking is complete shred chicken with a fork and knife and if you have time let the shredded chicken stay in the Instant Pot to marinade in that BBQ sauce on warm. If you don’t have time it’s still just as good!
TIP: I usually double this because this chicken freezes SO well for meals during the rest of the month.
