When chicken is golden brown, and no pink remains (check the center of the chicken, by slicing the center of the biggest Tender with a knife – making sure there is no pink, and chicken is cooked through) turn off Saute setting, and shred chicken. Add the water, and Bullion cubes, and stir. Cut the ham in bite size pieces, and add to Instant Pot.
