As a chef, one of the last things I want to do is cook a crazy meal for myself after cooking all day for other people. I usually want something that is quick, healthy and easy to make. Because of this I often turn to my instant pot for quick dinners. One that I have been making non stop this past month is this lemon dijon shredded chicken. It is the perfect textures and flavors together that makes me want to eat a whole bowl of this. It makes for the perfect meal prep as well, I am always eating it on salads, rice and tacos!

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs – This cut is the best for this recipe. It is super moist and shreddy when cooked in the instant pot. You can also do bone in, skin on. I would avoid breast because it tends to dry out.
• Dijon Mustard – I love the taste of dijon, however you can also do any mustard of choice.
• Lemon Juice – It better be juice from a fresh lemon, dont you dare think about the jarred lemon juice! Instead use white wine here too for a delicious acidity.
• Chicken Stock – Any stock or liquid works here.
• Italian Seasoning – Honestly any dried herb of choice works here, I also love rosemary, oregano and thyme.
