So. Much. Flavor.

Seriously, this chicken is fantastic…and so simple to make in the Instant Pot. Please read directions closely for shredding and sauce thickening details. 🙂

This is the perfect – “oooooops, I forgot to start the slow cooker this morning” kind of meal. You could make this in the slow cooker, but if you forget…here is the Instant Pot version. (Not that I forget to start the slow cooker sometimes?!?!? lol)

Enjoy!
