• 1 sprig fresh thyme (see notes)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional but (recommended if you are not sensitive to salt)

Préparation

1. 1

   Place the chicken breasts in the inner pot of your Instant Pot. Add the chicken broth, peeled garlic cloves, thyme and salt.

2. 2

   Close the lid and set the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.

3. 3

   Once done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and then do a quick release. Open the lid.

4. 4

   Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and let it rest for 5 minutes. Shred.

   At this point you can use the instant pot shredded chicken, cool it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or place it back into the instant pot and allow it to absorb some of the broth before serving.
