Preparation:

Step 1
• Toss chicken with garlic salt, paprika, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to coat evenly.
Step 2
• Place a rack in the bottom of the multicooker and add 1 cup of water. Place the chicken on the rack. Following the manufacturer's instructions, close the lid and prepare the multicooker for use. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 7 minutes. Multicooker settings and modes may vary depending on the model. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3
• Once the pressure cooker cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions to quickly release the pressure and wait for the cycle to complete. Being careful not to burn yourself with residual steam, open and remove the lid. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and shred with two forks, reserving the liquid in the pan. Remove the rack.
Step 4
• Switch the slow cooker to saute mode and bring the remaining liquid to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced to 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Pour the liquid over the shredded chicken and stir. Let cool completely before refrigerating. Chicken can be stored for up to 4 days.
