2-Ingredient Instant Pot BBQ Chicken for Easy Meal Prep
3 Easy Steps to Make Instant Pot BBQ Chicken
Place frozen chicken in Instant Pot and cover with your favorite bottled barbecue sauce. A 10 oz bottle is perfect for 1 1/2 lbs. Scale as needed for the size bottle you have and amount of chicken. Add 1/2 bottle of water and shake well then add water to the Instant Pot
Set manual time to 10 minutes and walk away. Let it release naturally then cool down completely.
Shred. Stir together with BBQ sauce in the Instant Pot and use as desired.
Ways to Serve Instant Pot BBQ Chicken
Once you have cooked and shredded your BBQ Chicken, it's super easy to make easy meals throughout the week with very little prep.
Serve stuffed in baked potatoes (regular or sweet.) I like to serve them topped with ranch or yogurt, bacon, green onions and serve with a veggie filled slaw and pickles but you can always just serve a simple veggie on the side.
Try a bowl with cauliflower rice, regular rice or quinoa, slaw, pickles, and avocado
Toss pre-shredded coleslaw mix, BBQ chicken, and pumpkin seeds together for a main dish salad. Mix together mayo, a little lime juice and extra barbecue sauce to taste for the dressing. You can't go wrong with a little cubed avocado ever so feel free to toss that in as well.
Make BBQ tacos - serve on grain-free or jicama tortillas with guacamole and mango salsa
For an appetizer option, make my Sweet Potato Nachos subbing BBQ chicken for the salsa chicken
