Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce ((or tamari for gluten free))
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger (minced)
3 tablespoons cornstarch (stirred together with 1/4 cup water to create a slurry)
green onions (thinly sliced (optional))
Toasted sesame seeds ((optional))
Cooked brown rice, quinoa, noodles, cauliflower rice, or vegetables ((for serving))

Steps:

  • Lightly coat the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot with nonstick spray. Arrange the chicken breasts in the bottom.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Pour over the chicken.
  • Close and seal the Instant Pot. Cook on HIGH (manual) pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then immediately vent to release the remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid. Turn the Instant Pot OFF. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Once you can safely handle it, shred the chicken with two forks or cut it into bite-size pieces.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE. Once the liquid begins to simmer, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue whisking to ensure the sauce is smooth and does not have any lumps. Continue to cook and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Turn the Instant Pot OFF. Add the chicken back to the pot and toss to coat in the sauce. Serve hot with prepared rice and a sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds.

CHICKEN TERIYAKI



Chicken Teriyaki image

Why use bottled teriyaki sauce when it's so easy to make your own with all the "chicken goodness" in the pot from the meat thawing and cooking? Teriyaki is usually grilled, of course. To make a successful version of teriyaki in the pot, it's best to cook the chicken in the aromatic sauce, then boil that sauce down to a thick glaze to use as a coating for the meat. Think of its final viscosity as about like duck sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce. Stir a lot as it cooks down because the sugars can start to burn.

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup regular or reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/2 cup frozen chopped onion (or 1 small yellow or white onion peeled and chopped)
3 tbsp light brown sugar
2 tbsp fresh ginger (peeled and minced )
1 tbsp garlic (peeled and minced )
3 lbs frozen boneless skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Mix the broth, soy sauce or tamari, onion, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in an Instant Pot. Add the block or hunks of frozen chicken, stir well, and lock the lid onto the pot.
  • Optional 1 Max Pressure Cooker Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 17 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
  • Optional 2 All Pressure Cookers Press Poultry, Pressure cook or Manual on High pressure for 20 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
  • When the machine has finished cooking, turn it off and let its pressure return to normal naturally, about 25 minutes. Unlatch the lid and open the cooker. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken thighs to a bowl.
  • Press the button for SAUTE. Set it for HIGH, MORE or CUSTOM 400°F. Set the time for 15 minutes and if necessary, press START.
  • Bring the sauce in the pot to a boil, stirring often. Continue boiling, stirring more and more frequently until almost constantly, until the sauce is a thick glaze, about 7 minutes. Turn off the SAUTÉ function. Return the chicken thighs and any juices to the cooker. Stir until the chicken is coated in the glaze. Transfer the pieces to a serving platter or plates.
