Chinese-Style Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic (, grated)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 lbs skinless boneless chicken breasts ((or thighs))
• Chopped green onion for garnish ((Optional))

Steps

1. 1

   Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and ground black pepper into your Instant Pot. Stir to mix well.

2. 2

   Add the chicken and toss it well. Then spread out the chicken with minimal overlap.

3. 3

   Close the lid and seal the valve. Press the “manual” button, set the pressure to "high", and set the timer to 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Once the cooking is done, let it natural release for 5 minutes, then use fast release. Once the pressure has released, you will hear a small click. Open the lid and let cool for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken.

   How to serve: Now you can serve the chicken while it’s hot. Toss it with the sauce then serve it over steamed rice or noodles as a main dish. You can also use the shredded chicken (with or without the sauce) as a salad topping, for making wraps, or in quesadillas. You can also use it in recipes such as Bang Bang Chicken, Cold Chicken Noodles, and Korean Noodle Soup.
