Step 6

After 25 mins, safely release the pressure, turn off and open the pan when you are able.

Step 7

Using a wooden spoon, “smash” the cooked chicken to shred it.

Drain the stock (you can save it for to use another time), and let the chicken cool to room temperature.

Step 9

While the chicken cools, add the veggies to a large bowl, set aside.

Step 10

Add the mayo, the olive oil, vinegar and mustard to a small bowl, and whisk to combine.
