Ingredients

3 lbs chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ cup chicken stock
1 medium yellow onion diced very small - I used a cheese grater
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon paprika I used smoked
1.5 cups BBQ sauce divided - I used Tessemaes.

Instructions

Add one tablespoon olive oil to bottom of Instant Pot.
In this order, add in chicken breasts, ⅓ cup stock, onion, garlic, paprika, and 1 cup BBQ sauce.
Lock the lid and manual pressure cook for 10 minutes. Just hit 'pressure cook' then add the time. The IP will need to come to pressure before the timer starts.
Once the timer goes off, natural release for 10 minutes and then quick release.
Shred with two forks and let place back in IP and stir in other half cup of bbq sauce.
Serve!
