- One of the best ways to cook chicken for shredding, is in the Instant Pot. I place it in the Instant Pot, cover with 1 cup of chicken stock and any seasonings you like. Close the top and touch the Poultry setting. Once it beeps, shred the chicken with your hands, tongs, forks, anything that works for you.
