Cook Time:20 minutes
Time To Sealed Pressure:20 minutes
Total Time:45 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Pressure Cooker I use the Instant Pot brand.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 16 ounces Italian Dressing I like Kraft Zesty Italian

Instructions

  • 1. Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot.

  • 2. Pour the dressing mixture over the top of the chicken. I like to stir the chicken and dressing around a little to make sure that there is some dressing on the bottom of the instant pot.

  • 3. Close the lid and make sure the valve is sealed.
  • 4. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  • 5. Let the pressure release naturally for at least 15 minutes. I'll sometimes let it go for 30 minutes or more on a natural pressure release.
  • 6. Quick release any remaining pressure, open the lid and check out your chicken!
  • 7. Carefully pull the chicken out of the instant pot with tongs and place it on a cutting board. Be careful. This chicken is crazy hot, and cooking it in the instant pot makes very tender chicken breasts. They will fall apart easily just by picking the breasts up with the tongs.
  • 8. Shred the chicken. I prefer to simply use two forks for the easiest and quickest shredding.
