    Pressed for time but looking for a delicious meal? Get out your Instant Pot and make this Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken! It's easy to make and is perfect for leftovers.

    Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken

    I bought an Instant Pot a few months ago and have been loving it so far. The Instant Pot makes one-pot meals a breeze, and pressure cooking is a fantastic way to cut down on cook time. You can even do crazy things like cook chicken completely from frozen in the Instant Pot! Doing so requires an increase in time under pressure, of course, but I love the convenience aspect of it.

    For this recipe, however, you'll use thawed chicken along with a variety of delicious seasonings and spices like garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and brown sugar. The result is a sweet and spicy chicken that tastes amazing when served over a bed of jasmine rice. It makes for a perfect weeknight meal when you're craving Chinese food but want a quick and easy meal at home.

    Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken Tips

    Tip #1: The chicken can be diced before cooking if desired instead of shredding. If you do this, adjust the cooking time to 8 minutes.

    Tip #2: This dish is delicious served over steamed jasmine rice.

    Tip #3: Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken is a fantastic leftovers or meal prep recipe. It freezes great if you want to make a large batch to enjoy over time.

    Tip #4: If you want to make this recipe gluten-free, just replace the soy sauce with a gluten-free alternative such as coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari soy sauce.
