Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 1/4 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pinch fresh-cracked pepper

Instructions

  • To the bottom of an instant pot, add 1 cup of water. Add in rack and spread 1 lb of chicken tenderloins out in a single layer.
  • Place lid on instant pot. Make sure the lever on the lid is set to "sealing". Set on high for 10 minutes. If using frozen chicken tenderloins, use 12 minutes.
  • Once chicken is done cooking, allow to naturally release for 2 minutes, then switch lever to "venting". Be careful not to get hot steam on your hands, I suggest using an oven mit when switching the lever. Allow float valve to go down, then carefully remove lid.
  • Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl and shred. It shouldn't take much effort to shred it, a fork should be sufficient. Mix in apple butter, salt and pepper. Enjoy.
  • Store in the fridge in an air-tight container for 3-4 days before consuming.
