A comforting and easy Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken recipe that your family will love, ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
- Place the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot and pour the teriyaki sauce over them, ensuring they are well coated.
- Seal the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick release of pressure carefully.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks if you desire a pulled chicken texture.
- Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add to the pot. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve the chicken over rice or quinoa, drizzling it with the thickened sauce, and top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a delightful crunch.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce overnight. Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
