Pour half buffalo sauce on bottom of pot, then place breasts on top. In a bowl whisk together remaining buffalo sauce + bbq sauce. Pour this on top of meat.

Allow to naturally release steam for 3 minutes, then release rest.
Use forks to shred meat in pot or on a cutting board. Return to pot and stir with remaining sauce in pot so everything is well coated. If you want to tone down heat stir in 1 tbsp dry ranch mix at a time until it is to your liking.

Notes

Made with Frozen Chicken

If you want to use frozen chicken they need to be small boneless skinless breasts or thighs. Separate them from one another, you can do this under cool water and pull apart before adding into the pot. Set to high pressure for 20 minutes instead of 14 with a natural release. Shred when done.
