Ingredients

  • 1 3 pound bag of frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 bottle of your favorite Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup of water

Instructions

  • Chop onion
  • Place chicken in Instant Pot, top with onions, then BBQ sauce.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of water over the top.
  • Layer as needed, so that all chicken will be covered in at least a little bit of BBQ sauce.
  • Close lid, and close vent of Instant Pot.
  • Push the "manual" button and set it to cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.
  • You can vent immediately or let it release naturally.  We let ours release naturally and that took 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from juices and shred.
  • Pour two large spoonfuls of the juice over the top of the shredded chicken.
  • Mix in more BBQ sauce until desired consistency is reached.
  • Serve on hamburger buns.
