Nestle the chicken breasts (or tenders) into the sauce.

Add the top of the cooker and cook. For pressure cooking, seal the steam hole, set temperature between HIGH and MEDIUM HIGH, and cook for 25 – 30 minutes. For slow cooking, cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 6 – 8 hours.

At the end of the cooking cycle, remove the chicken breasts and add them to a bowl. Gently pull the chicken apart using forks to be shredded. Add the shredded chicken back to the sauce and thoroughly mix together. Pro-tip: before adding the chicken to the sauce, use an immersion blender to make the tinga sauce smooth; another option is to pour the liquid into a blender, pulse blend until smooth, then add it back to the cooker.
