Ingredients:

Instant Pot instructions

Prepare the chicken:

First, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Next, set your Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and heat the olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken breasts.

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, just to brown them a bit. Add a cup of low-sodium chicken broth. Seal the Instant Pot and set it to ‘Manual’ mode for 8 minutes. Once cooked, release the pressure and shred the chicken with forks.

Cook the vegetables:

In a saucepan, boil the carrots, potatoes and celery until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the peas in the last 2 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set aside.
