To make these barbecue chicken sandwiches, I started by pouring a can of condensed chicken broth into the Instant Pot followed by some water, a small amount of BBQ sauce and some onion powder.
I stirred the ingredients together until the BBQ sauce was completely dissolved in the liquid.
Then I placed some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the pot.
I placed the lid on the Instant Pot and turned the steam release handle to the sealing position.
Then I set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 12 minutes.
Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I turned the steam release handle to the venting position and did a quick release.
I removed the cooked chicken breasts from the pot and used two forks to shred them.
I set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid from the Instant Pot and discarded the rest.
Then I returned the 1/2 cup of liquid to the pot, along with the shredded chicken some BBQ sauce and honey.
I stirred all of the ingredients together until the shredded chicken was completely coated in sauce.
Then I set the Instant Pot to Saute Normal for 10 minutes.
I left the chicken to simmer in the sauce, stirring occasionally so that nothing stuck to the bottom of the pot.
While the chicken and sauce were simmering I poured some shredded coleslaw mix into a mixing bowl and added some creamy coleslaw dressing.
I stirred the coleslaw until it was completely coated in the dressing and then set it aside.
Then I lay some large hamburger buns on a baking sheet and toasted them in the oven.
When the chicken was done cooking, I scooped it on to the hamburger buns.
Then I placed some coleslaw and French’s fried onions on top of the chicken on the buns.
These shredded chicken sandwiches are tender and juicy.
The coleslaw and French’s fried onions add great texture and flavour.
