Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken

Step 1

Cube chicken into small bite size pieces. Add into Instant Pot or pressure cooker

Step 2

Pour jar of teriyaki sauce, pineapple chunks, and soy sauce into pot. If making homemade teriyaki, whisk all ingredients in a bowl and pour in now.

Step 3

Stir so all chicken pieces are mostly covered with liquid.- do not use thick teriyaki sauces as those will burn

Step 4

Put lid on, close pressure valve, and set to pressure high for 3 minutes.

Step 5

When it beeps allow it to sit for 1 minute to avoid splatter, then do a quick release on your steam valve and carefully lift the lid and make sure your largest piece of chicken is not pink.

Step 6

If you want the sauce to be a bit thicker remove your chicken, set pot to saute,  and put about 3 tbsp. of your hot liquid in a small bowl with about 2 tbsp. cornstarch and whisk together until smooth, then add back into the mix and stir.

Step 7

Allow to bubble so the sauce thickens a bit. Add chicken back in. Serve over rice!
