In the base of an instant pot or pressure cooker, combine the chicken and BBQ sauce. Make sure the chicken is coated well.
Secure the lid onto the pressure cooker. Turn on instant pot, select "Pressure Cook" setting, set to "high pressure" for 25-30 minutes*, and start. Once the timer has expired and the chicken has finished cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally. The chicken should temp at 165 degrees F. once done.
Remove from the bowl and shred using two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the bowl of the pressure cooker to soak up the remaining sauce. Serve as is or as a sandwich or rice bowl.

*Cooking time may change due to the thickness of the chicken breast, for quicker cooking, pound the chicken breasts.
