Instructions
- Put your chicken in a big pot or dutch oven. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until chicken is done and tender. Remove chicken to cool but save chicken broth in your pot or dutch oven.
- Fill your pressure cooker with water about halfway. When water is hot, add your clean quart size jars and lids so that they may start to sterilize.
- Once the chicken is cooled, pull chicken apart until it is shredded.
- Added chicken to your jars and then add broth with one-inch headspace. This will be right below the jar rim.
- Add your lid and band to all jars.
- Add your jars back to the pressure cooker, cover and bring to a boil.
*If you end up getting white lines on your jars due to hard water, you can add one cup of vinegar to your water before boiling.
- Once your water has come to a boil, keep the pressure cooker at a steady pressure of 11 pounds for 90 minutes.
- When finished, turn off and allow pressure to release naturally. Remove lid and jars.
- Let jars sit for at least 24 hours to cool and seal. Label and store.
