Method
Step 1
Clean and pat dry chicken. Make the spice rub by mixing the salt and spices together. Rub onto the chicken. Set aside.
Step 2
Add olive oil to an electric pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) set to the Sauté function. Brown the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside. Add onions and cook until brown, about 3-5 minutes. Deglaze pan with broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan. Add pineapple, BBQ sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 3
Add chicken back to pot, secure lid and pressure cook for 20 minutes. Manually release the valve. Remove chicken and shred. Add back to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes over low heat.
Step 4
Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Put 1 slice of P’jack-Melts onto the bottom of each burger bun, add the chicken, then top with another slice of Vevan P'Jack-Melts. Broil for 1-2 minutes. Top each sandwich with pickled onions before topping with the top burger bun.
