Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 lb chicken breasts
• 2 lb chicken thighs
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt (We love TDW Mineral Salt!)
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1/2 onion grated
• 1.5 cup Primal Kitchen BBQ Sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

 

• Place your chicken breasts and thighs in a large mixing bowl and toss with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and salt. Make sure the seasoning is evenly coated all around.
• To your Instant Pot, add in the chicken broth, 3 cloves of garlic, coconut aminos, honey and directly grate the onion into the broth. Lay the chicken pieces down in an even layer. Pour the BBQ sauce on top and spread around.
• Close and seal your lid. Set the manual timer for 15 minutes. Once completed, manually release the pressure until the air is gone. Open the lid and using tongs, shred the chicken. Enjoy!!

Notes

Crockpot instructions:
Prep the chicken the exact same way as above. Cook low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4. Shred the chicken with two forks or stir around with metal tongs.
