I have had my InstantPot since my wedding September 2019 and last month (I am ashamed to say) I finally figured out shredded chicken. For whatever reason, I have struggled so hard getting shredded chicken right. It is either very dry or oddly chewy. I also get weirded out by chicken very easily so many times where I thought it was dry and or chewy it was likely 100% fine. Thankfully, I have Andrew who will literally eat anything I cook without complaining. Man, what a gem.
