Instructions

In your Instant Pot add chicken and top with the salad dressing.
Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button - if you’re cooking fresh thighs or breasts set to 15 minutes or 18 minutes if you’re using frozen chicken.
When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
Shred the chicken and serve it drizzled with sauce.

Tips

Chicken: you can use frozen or fresh boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts for this recipe.
If you don’t have balsamic salad dressing: you can substitute with zesty Italian salad dressing or any other salad dressing that is thin and not creamy.

  I've made this in the oven before. Poke the chicken all over with a fork or sharp-tipped knife, marinate in dressing in the fridge for several hours or overnight. Bake covered at 350 degrees for as long as needed until done. It's really tasty!

  Dutch Oven. One pot, quicker than a slow cooker, and will be very moist.
