  1. Cook chicken in instant pot by adding chicken broth and cooking on high pressure for 10 min. Allow instant pot to naturally release pressure for 5 min. Then manually release.

  2. Shred the chicken breast leaving in 1/4 of remaining juices. This is easiest using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer.

  3. Mix all other ingredients together with the chicken and place in a 9x13 casserole dish.

  5. Pour cornbread over chicken mixture and spread evenly to all edges.
