Instant Pot Quick & Easy Shredded Chicken

I know a lot of you may have gotten an Instant Pot for Christmas & you may be intimidated by it or you aren't sure what to make in it.
It's also January, which means a lot of people are trying to start the New Year off by eating healthy.
Shredded Chicken is a lean white meat, so it's healthy & a great way to have some protein.
I wanted to share a SUPER EASY way to make Shredded Chicken in your Instant Pot.
What I love about this method is that it makes a ton of shredded chicken, it freezes well & you can add it to salads, soups, casseroles, etc.
 Here is what you need:
 3-4 pounds of frozen chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup of water
- Salt & Pepper, to taste

Directions:
Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of your Instant Pot liner. Add the frozen chicken breasts and then sprinkle with salt & pepper:
   Then put the lid on your Instant Pot turn the knob to SEALING:
You are going to cook this on manual high pressure for 15 minutes.
After it is done cooking, I wait 15-20 minutes for it to release pressure on it's ow. If there steam left, do a manual release.

It will look like this when you open the lid:
 Using cooking tongs,  I move the Chicken breasts to my Kitchen Aid mixer. I always do a quick check to make sure my chicken is cooked (I am scared of under cooked chicken...LOL)
 
Then, turn on your mixer!
If you don't have a Kitchen Aid Stand mixer, just use a hand mixer.
In about 1 minute, your chicken is completely shredded!
 So Easy! Look at all that Shredded Chicken!
 Then, I take what I need for what I am making & then I freeze the rest in a Ziplock.
 I label the bag so I know what's in there :)
 This is seriously the EASIEST and QUICKEST way to make Shredded Chicken.

I use this Shredded Chicken for several recipes that call for chicken like:

Speaking of other healthy & easy Instant Pot recipes, here are all the Instant Pot recipes I have posted in the last year since I have owned my Instant Pot:

More Instant Pot Recipes coming your way...I hope to blog 1 or 2  Instant Pot recipe a month!
I am also hoping to blog more of my Crock Pot recipes into Instant Pot Recipes.
I have already converted my Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas,  Slow Cooker Corn Chowder with Potatoes + Bacon , Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili & Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup  to Instant Pot Recipes.....I just need to blog those conversions for you guys. 
Stay Tuned for those & more Instant Pot Recipes! 

If you have any Instant Pot questions, please ask me! I have had mine since October 2016 and I LOVE it. I was intimidated by it at first, but after I used it the first time, I realized it wasn't so scary to use. I am in love with it and haven't used my Crock Pot since I got my Instant Pot!
 
Hope you have a great weekend!

A Fond Farewell

The time has come. It's been an amazing 10.5 years of blogging, but all good things must come to an end, right? This is something I've been thinking about for months.  When will it be time to say goodbye to blogging? I have absolutely LOVED blogging.  It has been such a fun & a creative outlet for me.  I have loved sharing our lives with you, sharing recipes, printables, parties I've thrown and other day to day randomness with you. When I started this blog in August of 2008 it was a way to keep our family updated about our lives. It has changed and evolved the past 10.5 years in ways I never imagined. I am so thankful for all the people I have met & friendships I have formed because of my blog. It has given me amazing opportunities & for that I am thankful. I want to thank you, my readers. You are some of the most supportive women out there. In the past 10.5 years I can count on one hand the negative comments I have gotten. You have all been so positive and su...

I don't know about you, but I love baking.  I go through A LOT of vanilla extract each year.  Real vanilla extract is expensive! Anywhere between $8-$12 a bottle.  Years ago I heard about making your own vanilla extract, and it is so easy!  You only need 2 ingredients.  I thought I would share how to make it and it also makes a great gift idea for this time of year. Who wouldn’t be happy to receive a bottle of this?   It makes the perfect hostess gift when you are invited to a Holiday Party, a great gift for your child’s teacher, office staff, neighbors, etc!  Here is what you need to make 12 (2oz) bottles of Vanilla Extract:  Vodka (use the cheap stuff!!!) Make sure it is at least 80 proof  10 Vanilla Beans (make sure they are B grade) I got mine HERE 12 (2oz) Glass Bottles. I got mine HERE Mini Funnel. I got mine HERE Personalized labels.
