Instructions

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and lay them flat in the Instant Pot.
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the chicken.
Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to Manual (High Pressure) for 10 minutes. Adjust time if breasts are very thick.
When the cook cycle ends, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then use the quick-release valve.
Open the lid, transfer the chicken to a cutting board, and shred with two forks or a hand mixer.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Toss with BBQ sauce if desired, or reserve plain.

Notes

For different flavors, consider adding chili powder for heat or lemon juice for brightness.
