INSTANT POT® CHINESE BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN WITH CELERY

Instant Pot® Chinese Black Pepper Chicken with Celery image

Quick, easy, and delicious Chinese black pepper chicken made in the Instant Pot®. Just like takeout. Pressure cooking time is just 4 minutes for either fresh or frozen cut-up chicken pieces. I use Foster Farms® frozen chicken pieces I get in a bag at Costco. I've experimented with the timing many, many times and 4 minutes is just right. Just follow my directions below. Serve with rice or noodles.

This dish has a lot of flavor and is very light. Goes well with other heavy Chinese saucy dishes. You can also use firm tofu instead of chicken.
