Equipment

  • 1 pressure cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken tenders frozen
  • 2 c chicken broth or water
  • 1 c barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Separate tenders ideally but if they are in one solid chunk I will share timing for those too.
  • Pour broth into pot and lower down a trivet. Put tenders on trivet or in vegetable steamer basket and seal lid and steam valve.
  • If they are separated set to steam function for 7 minutes and natural release pressure at the end.
  • If tenders are in one solid chunk, steam for 5 minutes, allow for a natural pressure release. Then separate them and put the lid back on. Steam for 2 more minutes with a quick release.
  • Remove, plate and pour bbq sauce over the top of all of them.
