How to Make Easy BBQ Chicken in an Electric Pressure Cooker

Cris here. I love shredded BBQ chicken in sandwiches, wraps and salads. I also love that the crock pot and instant pot make making barbecue chicken so easy.

For years we have enjoyed our Quick and Easy Crock Pot BBQ Chicken by using our Crock Pot Shredded Chicken or Crock Pot Butter Chicken as the base.

So the other day, I decided to combine the process and make it all in my electric pressure cooker and I absolutely loved the ease at making this family favorite.

How to Make Easy Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Low Carb

I recently discovered that my favorite sugary BBQ Sauce now makes a Sugar Free Version! I was so excited and I was so happy when I tasted it and it was SO GOOD! Note: Online prices vary greatly. I usually find it at my grocery store for the same price as other regular BBQ sauces.

We enjoy many sandwiches low carb style by eating the meat without a bun, as a salad, on a low carb bun, in a low carb tortilla or in a low carb lavash wrap.

With these two small changes, this dish can easily be enjoyed by folks on a low carb diet.

Easy Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Recipe Notes

  • You can use any boneless skinless chicken for this recipe. We have used thighs and a mixture of thighs and chicken breast.
  • We prefer to pressure cook our chicken from frozen, however, you can use fresh chicken and reduce pressure cooking time to 10 minutes.
  • Use any BBQ sauce to your taste. Low Carb folks can check their grocery store shelves, my favorite sugary BBQ Sauce now makes a Sugar Free Version.
  • Serve as is, as a sandwich or over a salad. (My family LOVES the BBQ Summer Salad in this post). Low Carb folks can enjoy by eating the meat without a bun, as a salad, on a low carb bun, in a low carb tortilla or in a low carb lavash wrap.
  • The auto-calculation of nutrition on this recipe does NOT include the BBQ sauce or bun. Your choice of both products will greatly change carb counts.

General Notes

  • We’ve tested this recipe in a 6 quart Instant Pot and 6.5 quart Ninja Foodi. When pressure cooking with larger pressure cookers, you may need to add 1/2 cup to 1 cup more liquid to reach pressure. Make sure not to overfill smaller pressure cookers past their max lines.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.
