Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 chicken breast 1 inch thick
  • 1/4 red onion sliced
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup favorite bbq sauce I love Baby Rays

Sandwich Supplies

  • small hoagie rolls
  • butter
  • garlic powder
  • Ranch dressing
  • favorite cheese
  • lettuce tomato, yellow peppers

Instructions

  • Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot liner. Place the 1 inch thick chicken breast in the broth. (If it is thicker than 1 inch, put it in a zip top bag and use your rolling pin to make it one inch thick.) Place all other ingredients on top of the chicken breast. 
  • Cook on manual HIGH for 5 minutes. NPR for 5 minutes and then QR. Open the lid and then let it rest for 5 more minutes. Shred the chicken. (My favorite way is in my stand mixer! Try it!)
  • Spread the butter onto the buns, sprinkle with garlic powder and then broil until golden brown. Spread ranch dressing onto both sides of the bun and then top with veggies, the BBQ chicken and cheese. 
  • Use the leftover BBQ chicken for more sandwiches, on salads, or on a pizza.
