Buttered Chicken Sliders

A dump and push kind of instant pot butter chicken, that is perfect for sliders or just over rice.

Every so often, we stumble onto a recipe that spells genius for us. Right now it is this pulled butter chicken. Done in practically a dump and push step in the instant pot, I am left with a batch of seriously good chicken that can be adapted for several things.

There was no sauteeing onions, or fussing involved. Added the ingredients, turned on the instant pot, let the chicken cook. Pulled the chicken into shreds with my fork. Yes, it was soft and fork tender. I cooked down any additional liquid.

There was just enough left to ensure that the chicken stayed moist. A yogurt and cilantro dressing brings the perfect contrast to the flavors. So when it is cold, cold, cold try this batch of easy and comforting pulled butter chicken.
