What You Will Need
- boneless, skinless chicken breasts – we used chicken breasts but you could also use chicken thighs.
- BBQ sauce – feel free to grab your favorite! Any BBQ sauce will work! Checkout this great list of the best bbq sauces – so many great options!
- chicken broth – just a cup because the Instant Pot requires some liquid when cooking meat – you could also use water.
How Long Do You Cook Raw Chicken In An Instant Pot?
You will cook the raw chicken breasts on high pressure for 8-10 minutes. An Instant Pot does take a fair amount of time to get to pressure and to release the pressure so make sure you account for that.
How Should I Serve BBQ Chicken?
You can serve this BBQ chicken any way you want! It is amazing by itself but our favorites are to make it into a BBQ Chicken Sandwich or BBQ Chicken Tacos!
Storing Instant Pot BBQ Chicken
Once your bbq chicken has been cooked you can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months!
How To Make Instant Pot BBQ Chicken
Place your chicken breasts & broth/water in the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred, and place back in the Instant Pot with BBQ sauce of choice.
Enjoy it by itself!
Or as a sandwich!
Or as tacos!
