It puts food on our table 70% faster than traditional cooking.
I’ve been a little slow to jump onto the pressure cooker wagon. If you’re in the same boat, don’t keep putting this off!
The first recipe I tried was an easy Pressure Cooker Chicken Orzo Soup, and my latest recipe is this yummy Pressure Cooker Pulled Chicken.
Y’all, this pressure cooker shredded chicken recipe is to die for. The meat is incredibly tender and works well for lunches throughout the week.
In fact, this would even be a great meal prep recipe. You could pair this shredded chicken with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, rice or quinoa to create quick and easy meals to sustain your family throughout the week.
I chose to use chicken breasts in this recipe but you can use whichever type of chicken you prefer.
I have so many recipes that utilize chicken that I can’t wait to transform into pressure cooker recipes!
It’s really amazing how fast you’re able to put dinner on the table when you’re preparing pressure-cooked meals. I am truly a convert!
In fact, my kids ask for pressure cooker spaghetti about three times a week!

Pressure Cooker Pulled Chicken
Ingredients
- 2-2.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast about 3 large breasts
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 green peppers diced
- 1 can cola
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 18 oz. bottle BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts, chili powder, sugar, salt, onion, garlic and green pepper in your pressure cooker. Cover with 1 can cola (I used Coca-Cola).
- Lock the lid and ensure the valve is closed. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
- When you hear the beep indicating the cooking is completed, manually release the pressure. Once pressure is released, remove the lid.
- Carefully (it will be hot, use oven mitts) lift the inner pot out of the cooker and drain the liquid. Remove the chicken to a plate and use two forks to shred the meat.
- Return to pot and add 1 bottle of your preferred BBQ sauce. Stir to coat the chicken. You can use the brown/sauté mode to re-heat the mixture if too much cooling has occurred while shredding. This should only take a couple minutes. Serve warm on buns!

I keep my 3 year old grandson and I am pooped when I get home! This appliance would be so helpful to get dinner made. I love pulled pork and this sounds amazing!
This looks like something my husband would eat, which is saying something. He’s a little bit picky.
I never tried pressure cooking because of the exploding safety on the old time pressure cookers. My mom still does and guffs at me for being chicken lol. I never knew they had this kind until recently. I think I could work it just fine. Thanks for the Review
I would this wonderful looking pulled chicken
I would love to make a spicy spanish rice,it’s one of my favorite dishes and has so many delicious ingredients!
I love soups, especially those that simmer all day, but I don’t always have the time. this would be a great time-saver. And all of the built-in benefits of this pressure/crock are awesome. Time I join the 21st century. YUM!
I will be making the very veggie minestrone! Sounds so hearty and delicious.
