Begin by mixing up the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag or container.
Add the chicken, and chill for at least 3 hours. I put the chicken in the marinade in the morning and let it sit in the fridge until dinner time.
When you're ready to cook the chicken, add the chicken and marinade to the inner pot.
Cover and lock lid in place.
Turn the pressure release valve to SEALING.
Press POULTRY and adjust the time to 24 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes.
Carefully turn the pressure release valve to VENTING to release any remaining pressure.
Shred the chicken and serve topped with cilantro.
