Method

Place all ingredients in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup water. Cook for 16 minutes on full pressure, release pressure and, when you can take the lid off, transfer thighs to a bowl. If you don't have a pressure cooker, place ingredients in a large saucepan, cover with water and simmer gently for 1 hour. Shred the meat with tongs.
Place the sauce in a blender and purée. Combine the sauce and the chicken. This can be served hot or at room temperature.
