Instant Pot Shredded Chicken makes juicy, tender shredded chicken in no time! It’s perfect for meal prep or can be used in other recipes where you need cooked chicken. COOKED CHICKEN IN LESS THAN 30-MINUTES Instant Pot Shredded Chicken is a great recipe to have on hand and make quickly when you have another recipe that calls for cooked chicken. This happens to me all the time when I go to the store to grab a rotisserie chicken and they are out and I was expecting to be able to make a meal with it that night. No worries, grab some chicken breasts and make it this way instead! It’s simple, requires just a handful of ingredients and is extremely customizable with the seasonings so it can be used on just about anything. It also makes great chicken to dice up to put in Chicken Salad. I give a few more recipe ideas below on how to use up this delicious and tender cooked chicken! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Can I use frozen chicken breasts? Yes, you can cook frozen chicken breasts directly in the Instant Pot; increase the cooking time to 20-22 minutes. Can I use different seasonings? Absolutely! This is a very basic recipe that uses simple ingredients that will create shredded chicken that is perfect to go in just about any dish. So, feel free to change up the spices and seasonings you use to better suit the flavor profile you’re going to have with whatever you’re using this shredded chicken in. For example, if you want to make this for a Mexican dish, try adding Adobo seasoning or Taco Seasoning.Also, if you’re looking for some heat, try adding chili powder, cayenne pepper, or a splash of hot sauce to the seasoning. What’s the best way to shred chicken? You can use two forks, a hand mixer, or even a stand mixer for quick shredding. Or just dice it up by hand if you prefer it to be in chunks rather than shredded. Can I make this in the Slow Cooker? While I suppose you can make this in the Slow Cooker, that would take the “quickness” out of using the Instant Pot with this recipe. But, if you still want to do so, I’d suggest popping the seasoned chicken and other ingredients in the Crock Pot and cooking it on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours. If using the Slow Cooker, increase the chicken broth to 2 cups instead of just the 1. What can I use Instant Pot Shredded Chicken on? Anything and EVERYTHING, lol. Here are some of my favorites that you can give a try:– Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas– Chicken Enchilada Casserole– Chicken Dumplings Casserole– Creamy Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti– Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo Lasagna How do I store leftover Instant Pot Shredded Chicken? Instant Pot Shredded Chicken should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.To Reheat: Warm in a skillet with a splash of broth over medium heat or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.To Freeze: Store in a freezer-safe container or bag with some of the cooking liquid for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Any tips for keeping chicken moist when reheating? Yup! I suggest trying to save at least 1/2 cup of the liquid from cooking the chicken in the Instant Pot, to use to keep the chicken moist during storage or reheating. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) boneless chicken breasts – you can definitely use chicken thighs as well. I would add an two more minutes to the cooking time since dark meat takes a little longer to cook than white meat. chicken broth – replace with water and chicken bouillon if broth is unavailable. garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper – I used a very basic seasoning blend here to make this chicken versatile for any recipe but see my Frequently Asked Questions above for more ideas. butter – Substitute with olive oil or avocado oil for a lighter option. HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT SHREDDED CHICKEN Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot. Add the chicken breasts and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

President Donald Trump has announced the conversion of all U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) offices into Spirit Halloween stores, following the agency’s recent shutdown. The decision comes on the heels of the administration’s efforts to dismantle USAID, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio assuming interim leadership and Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, declaring the agency “beyond repair”. pic.twitter.com/FdFEGtcwTx— Dr. Richard Harambe (@Richard_Harambe) February 4, 2025 “USAID was a ghost town anyway,” quipped President Trump during a press conference. “So, we thought, why not make it official? Now, instead of handing out aid, we’ll be handing out costumes. It’s a win-win.” Spirit Halloween, known for its seasonal pop-up stores in vacant retail spaces, has embraced the opportunity. “We’ve always been about bringing life to empty spaces,” said a company spokesperson. “Transforming former USAID offices into Halloween stores is just another way we can do that.” Critics argue that repurposing facilities dedicated to humanitarian aid into seasonal retail outlets is in poor taste. “This is a macabre twist on foreign policy,” said one former USAID employee. “It’s as if our commitment to global development has been reduced to a costume party.” Supporters, however, see it differently. “This move embodies the entrepreneurial spirit,” said an administration official. “We’re turning inefficiency into opportunity, and who doesn’t love Halloween?” As the transformation begins, former USAID offices are being stocked with an array of costumes, from “Disgruntled Diplomat” to “Bureaucratic Zombie.” The irony is not lost on former staffers, some of whom have reportedly applied for seasonal positions at the new stores. International reactions have been mixed. Some foreign leaders expressed dismay at the abrupt shift in U.S. foreign aid policy, while others have inquired about bulk orders of costumes for upcoming state events. Only time will tell if this unconventional approach will be a trick or a treat for America’s global standing.

The 67th Grammy Awards ceremony took place on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It was a big night for music, with artists across different genres getting recognized and taking home the prestigious award. Among the winners were The Beatles, as they added another Grammy to their collection. Their song, ‘Now and Then,’ beat songs by The Black Keys, Green Day, IDLES, Pearl Jam, and St. Vincent to win the Best Rock Performance category. This victory brought their total Grammy count to 30, including special honors and Hall of Fame awards. The Beatles’ song that won the Grammys was AI-assisted – and people think it shouldn’t have won A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, front from left: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, rear from left: George Harrison, John Lennon, 1964/Everett John Lennon originally wrote and recorded “Now and Then” in 1977. After his passing, Yoko Ono gave the demo to the remaining Beatles, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. They tried to complete it in 1995 but struggled because the technology at the time could not separate Lennon’s voice from the piano. Due to this reason, they abandoned the project until decades later, as new AI-powered technology now makes it possible to extract Lennon’s vocals clearly. Paul and Ringo finally finished the song, making “Now and Then” a posthumous Beatles track. HELP!, from left: George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, 1965/Everett Fans react to The Beatles’ new Grammy Award Reactions to The Beatles’ win have not been joyful across the board because some critics feel uneasy about AI being involved. I don’t know. I do not agree with this, I think it’s unfair,” someone admitted, while another protested against making AI-generated music a norm in the music industry. “The beginning of a new era— the AI-assisted songs will only grow from this moment forward,” a third opinion read. A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, The Beatles, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney candid on the set with director, Richard Lester, 1964/Everett Others defended The Beatles, saying those against AI are too quick with their reactions. “The amount of people in these comments that don’t understand that it’s not an AI song and was, in fact, written and sung by The Beatles,” a fan pointed out. Some were simply proud of The Beatles’ success despite being broken up for 55 years. “If this doesn’t prove they’re the greatest band of all time, I don’t know what does,” they quipped.
