Instant Pot Sesame Chicken - 10 minutes!

Ingredients

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into approximately 1 inch pieces
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup soy sauce reduced sodium is best
3 Tbsp ketchup
1 tsp sriracha sauce
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ginger powder
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
GARNISHES:
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
sliced green onions
 
Broccoli, cooked in microwave
Rice

Steps

Cook rice in instant pot. Remove and clean to proceed with chicken.
Add cubed chicken, salt, pepper, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, ginger and sriracha to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine in instant pot
PRESSURE COOK:
Secure lid, making sure the valve is set to “sealing”. Select manual or pressure cook and use the +/- buttons to set it to 3 minutes.
Once pressure cooking is finished, turn the valve to “venting” to perform a quick pressure release.
THICKEN SAUCE:
Open lid and select “saute”. Add brown sugar, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into chicken and sauce. Continue cooking, stirring with a wooden spoon until sauce is thickened to your liking. This usually takes me about 2-3 minutes.
Serve over rice or cooked cabbage with broccoli on the side.
