  4. Turn Instant Pot to saute (“more”) setting and let the sauce and liquid in the pot simmer and reduce down for 10 minutes. 
  5. Meanwhile, shred or chop the chicken. Once sauce has reduced stir the chicken into the pot. Stir in the remaining barbecue sauce.
  6. Serve the chicken and enjoy on salads, sandwiches, with baked potatoes, etc.!
