Instructions

Empty 1/2 jar of barbecue sauce on bottom of Instant Pot.

Put chicken breasts on top of your sauce, squeeze other half of jar on top of the chicken.

Pour 3/4 c water inside your bbq sauce jar, put lid on and shake, pour this on top of chicken followed by chunks of pineapple (and sliced onion + soy sauce if you choose to add those). Gently stir so chicken is well coated.

Close Instant Pot and make sure steam valve is closed. Set to poultry setting, high for 15 minutes (automatically sets to this time when you hit the poultry function).

When it beeps do a quick release, and then lift lid.

Use 2 forks to shred chicken right in the pot. Add some to small tortillas to make soft tacos with some cheese and avocado, or leave chicken whole and serve on top of rice.
