- Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
- Add in the chicken breasts (I used two large frozen chicken breasts). Pour the ketchup, molasses, dijon, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt and pepper over the top of the chicken. Don’t stir.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 15 minutes on LOW pressure. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Move chicken to a cutting board and shred or chop. Stir chicken into juices in the Instant Pot. Stir in the apple, nutmeg and bacon crumbles.
- Serve chicken and enjoy!
