Equipment

  • Instant Pot (or Pressure Cooker)
  • Forks or Mixer (to shred the chicken)
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ⅓ cup water

Homemade Coleslaw

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage

Other

  • 6 hamburger buns
  • extra BBQ sauce as needed

Instructions

  • Place frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, garlic salt, and minced garlic on top of chicken.
  • Pour in water, but don't mix it in with the sauce.
  • Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING. Press the MANUAL (PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 18 minutes.
  • When the timer is done, let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE for 5 minutes. Then move the valve from sealing to VENTING and let the rest of the pressure release.
  • Remove chicken from Instant Pot and shred using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily). Place shredded chicken back in the Instant Pot with all the juices and stir together.
  • To make coleslaw, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, and pepper, in a large bowl. Add your shredded cabbage.
  • Place a scoop of shredded chicken on your bun and top with a scoop of coleslaw. Top with extra barbecue sauce if desired and serve.

Notes

To make this into a freezer meal:
  • Place chicken breasts, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, garlic salt, and minced garlic into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days.
  • When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/3 cup of water in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 25 minutes . Do a 5 minute NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
