Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

This Instant Pot Shredded Chicken recipe has been a long time coming. I seriously have been meaning to blog it for the past couple months and every time I made it I would forget to take pictures of it.

We are doing a January Whole 30 so I started doing some food prep today. This is a very simple recipe and post but honestly is something we make all the time. Sometimes I forget to share just simple, every day recipes for people who are in a hurry but still want to eat healthy.

When I actually sit down and get organized with meal planning I like to make a large batch of chicken or beef for my husband and I to eat on for several days. It really helps having some protein on hand for a quick meal.

We got an Instant Pot about six months ago and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I seriously never would have imagined we would use it as much as we do. It really is a life and time saver though. It is great for quick cooking sweet potatoes, stew, roasts and even soups.

If I am doing a bunch of meal prep I usually cook 4lbs of chicken at a time. My all-time favorite way to make it is with the Primal Palate Adobo Seasoning. It makes the most magical tasting chicken and then we can put it in a big batch of chicken salad, soup or just eat it with some sweet potatoes and greens. I would highly recommend ordering this Adobo Seasoning. You can find it on Primal Palate or over on Amazon. ALL their spices are out of this world. If you can’t get your hands on those blends I would just substitute with your favorite chicken spice blend.

If you are looking to save time on healthy eating I would highly recommend investing in an Instant Pot!

Happy New Year!

Enjoy!
