When it comes to family friendly dinners, here recently I have been turning to my Instant Pot. I use it for basically everything – meat, poultry, soups and stews, rice, even oatmeal – and it cooks it all in no time at all. This summer I am trying my best to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible and instead creating as many memories as I can with with Big D and Little D, and the Instant Pot is helping me do this.

Ingredients
- 1.5-2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Place chicken in your Instant Pot
- Season both sides of chicken with garlic salt and pepper.
- Pour in chicken broth.
- Seal Instant Pot, making sure your valve is set to sealing. Press poultry button. Once done, wait for Instant Pot to depressurize on it's own, known as natural release.
- NOTE: If you are wanting to use the "quick release" method, I suggest adding 5 extra minutes to the Instant Pot cooking timer. If you do this, once timer goes off, you can switch your valve to "venting" which will cause a faster release.
- Place chicken on a cutting board and shred with 2 forks, OR slice chicken breast.
