Teriyaki Chicken in the Pressure Cooker/Instant Pot

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger, 2 tablespoons canola oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon corn starch. Place aside.

Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and the “more” setting. Brown the chicken in the oil, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. When the chicken is browned, press the "cancel" button.

 

Pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir to combine.

Close and secure the lid. Choose "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" and set the timer to 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, wait 5 minutes for the pressure to release on its own. Then, carefully turn the valve to the “Venting” position to release any remaining pressure.

If desired, top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice!
