Instructions

Add the ingredients to the instant pot in the following order: chicken broth, chicken breasts, seasoning, diced onions and BBQ sauce.
Seal the instant pot, and cook on the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK setting on high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow the steam to naturally release for a further 10 minutes before you turn the valve and quickly release the remaining pressure.
Use two forks, meat claws or a hand mixer to shred the chicken in the instant pot.
The chicken will be flavorful, but the sauce will be a little runny. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to serve the chicken while draining some excess liquid.
