How do you know when the chicken is cooked?

Cooked chicken will reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. However, if you do not have a meat thermometer, no worries! If you can easily pull your chicken, then your chicken is fully cooked!

Should you allow chicken to rest before pulling it?

Yes. It is always best practice to let any meat rest before slicing or pulling. This ensures that the moisture remains in the meat so if you have an additional 10 minutes, it is recommended to let the chicken rest for that time before pulling it.

What is the easiest way to pull chicken?

I always use two forks or my hands (if the chicken is cool enough!) to pull my chicken. However, I have used my hand held mixer as well to pull the chicken. Using a hand hand mixer works well but requires more cleaning than I like!

Instructions

Add the water to the bowl of the pressure cooker. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the bowl and seal the lid (make sure the knob is on "seal" and not "vent" if you are using a Ninja All-In-One)
Set the cooker on "HI" and the timer for 14 minutes for thawed chicken and 16 minutes for frozen chicken.

Remove the chicken and pull it using two forks. You can then add your favourite sauce to the chicken or drizzle some of the remaining liquid from the pressure cooker over the chicken.

you can replace the water with chicken broth or any other type of broth.
