1. NOTES:

To prepare the shredded chicken in a Instant Pot like I did:

Place 2 chicken breasts in the Instant Pot.
Season with Salt and Pepper.
Add 1 cup of chicken brother or water.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to Sealing.
Press the MANUAL button and set the timer for 10 minutes.
Once the timer has gone off, do a quick release, remove the lid, remove the chicken from the Instant Pot, and shred it with forks.
