Instant Pot® General Tso's Chicken image

Why choose takeout when you can make this at home in the Instant Pot® with better results? This recipe can easily be doubled to feed four. You'll just need to do the chicken in two separate batches. All other directions remain the same. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve over rice, if desired.

General Tso's Stew image

I love Asian food and wanted a chili-like soup with the distinctive flavors of General Tso's chicken. The slow cooker makes this super easy, and you can use any meat you like. It's a great with turkey, ground meats or leftover pork. -Lori McLain, Denton, Texas
