Description

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

  1. Mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot and pour the teriyaki sauce over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Seal the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick release of pressure carefully.
  5. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks if you desire a pulled chicken texture.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
