Instant Pot Ohio Shredded Chicken Sandwiches

Have you ever heard of Ohio shredded chicken sandwiches? I hadn’t! But after researching a little I found out that this regional sandwich is a favorite of those that live in the buckeye state. Some in Ohio have never heard of them, but others eat them at every potluck. They are popular at local diners and restaurants that serve lunch sandwiches. I even found a website that shows all the diners that serve these sandwiches.

They are similar to other “pulled” meat recipes but the addition of stuffing is what sets this dish apart. And instead of using a tomato or barbeque sauce base, this recipe calls for a creamy base typically made from cream of chicken soup.

I wasn’t sure if I would like these sandwiches but they are really tasty! If you love chicken and stuffing I think you’ll love these sandwiches. Instead of BBQ pork sandwiches try these out!

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts–or thighs or a combination of the two
• Chicken broth–or water and Better than Bouillon Chicken Base
• Chicken flavored stuffing mix–or Ritz crackers (see variations section below)
• Cream of chicken soup–or you can use cream of mushroom or cream of celery (it will have a different flavor profile). You can also make your own cream of chicken soup.
• Buns

Steps

Instant Pot Instructions:

1. Add chicken: Place chicken breasts and broth into Instant Pot. 
2. Pressure cook: Cover and lock lid into place. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 10 minutes for fresh chicken or 12 minutes for frozen chicken. When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
3. Cook stuffing: Shred chicken, then stir in cream of chicken soup and stuffing mix. Cover and set Instant Pot to keep warm setting. Let pot sit for 10 minutes. Stir. 
4. Serve chicken mixture on buns and enjoy!

Slow Cooker Instructions:

1. Add chicken: Place chicken breasts in slow cooker. Pour soup and broth over the top.
2. Pressure cook: Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours or until chicken is easily shredded with two forks.
3. Cook stuffing: Shred chicken, then stir in stuffing mix. Cover and cook until stuffing and crumbs are soft, about 30 minutes. If needed, thin mixture out with chicken broth.
4. Serve chicken mixture on buns and enjoy!

Notes/Tips

• Serve with fresh fruit like grapes or watermelon and a side salad.
• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Other recipes you can make that can use the rest of your hamburger buns are Instant Pot Roseanne’s Loose Meat Sandwich or Instant Pot Manna Sandwiches.

Variations

• Ritz Crackers–Use one sleeve of crushed Ritz crackers instead of the stuffing mix.
• Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches–Stir in a quarter cup of Frank’s Red hot when you add in the cream of chicken soup.
• Bun Substitutes–Swap the buns for a lettuce wrap or serve on top of mashed potatoes or rice.
• Rotisserie chicken–Use cooked chicken instead of pressure cooking raw chicken.
• Minced onion–add a teaspoon or two of minced dried onion in when you add in the stuffing mix.
