How to make Instant Pot Shredded Buffalo Chicken Breast

Throw all of the ingredients in the Instant Pot.
Cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
Quick release.
Next, shred the chicken with a fork. The chicken breasts just fall apart so the shredding is very easy.
The chicken will naturally absorb most of the liquid. You will then put it on the sauté setting for just a few minutes to cook out any remaining liquid until the chicken absorbs any lingering sauce… about 5 minutes.
