INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the stainless steel inner pot inside the Instant Pot®. Add chicken and barbecue sauce, and mix.
  2. Close and lock the Instant Pot® lid. Make sure the steam release handle is turned to Sealing. Press Meat/Stew and set time to 10 minutes.
  3. When the time is up, press Cancel and manually turn the steam release handle to Venting. Once all the steam has been released, open the lid.
  4. Remove chicken and shred with a fork.
  5. If chicken was very juicy, the sauce may look a bit watery. To thicken, boil briefly. If not necessary, skip the step.
  6. Mix the chicken with the sauce.
  7. Mix everything and let it rest for at least 15 minutes so that the cabbage softens.
  8. Serve the chicken with the coleslaw on semi-sweet rolls.
