  2. Step 2: Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.

  5. Step 5: Stir the softened cream cheese into the Instant Pot until melted and smooth.
  6. Step 6: Return the shredded chicken to the Instant Pot and stir to combine. Serve topped with shredded cheddar cheese.

Notes

  • For easier shredding, let the chicken cool slightly before pulling it apart with forks.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if needed to loosen it up.
  • Try serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for extra flavor and freshness.
