Drain about 3/4 of juices (be careful it’s hot) You can use a hand mixer to shred the chicken right in the instant pot or remove and shred with two forks.
For the chili: Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add onion and cook for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic, jalapeño, green chile peppers, cumin, oregano, and cayenne.

Recipe Notes
Tip: My SIL swears by cooking this over stovetop versus a crockpot. She said this just tastes better via stovetop.
