Instant Pot Instructions:

- If using chicken breasts or thighs slice them into thick strips across the grain so that they are the size of chicken tenders. Add the chicken into the pot.

- Add in the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot so that nothing is sticking.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up let the pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
