The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

This recipe is a great way to meal prep for the week. I made a big batch of shredded chicken on Sunday and used it in salads, tacos, and sandwiches all week long.

The chicken was so tender and juicy! I loved that I could use my Instant Pot to make shredded chicken without having to babysit it on the stove.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I'm a busy working mom and I don't have a lot of time to cook. But with my Instant Pot, I can throw everything in the pot and have a delicious meal ready in no time.
