Hey everyone! Does anyone have some tasty chicken breast recipes for the Instant Pot? I’m a big fan of thighs, but my boyfriend is all about that breast. You know how it is—gotta get that protein!

    Sure! Here’s a simple and delicious Instant Pot chicken breast recipe that combines Asian flavors and is super easy to make:

    Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken Breasts

    Ingredients:
    – 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    – 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    – 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
    – 2 tbsp rice vinegar
    – 2 tbsp minced garlic (or 4-5 cloves, adjust to taste)
    – 1 tbsp minced ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
    – 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
    – 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
    – Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
    – Cooked rice or steamed vegetables for serving

    Instructions:

    1. Prep the Chicken Breasts: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. You can also slice them into smaller pieces for quicker cooking.

    2. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil.

    3. Add to Instant Pot: Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and pour the sauce over them. Add chicken broth (or water) to ensure there’s enough liquid for pressure cooking.

    4. Cook: Secure the lid on your Instant Pot. Set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes if the breasts are whole. (If they’re sliced, reduce the time to about 5-6 minutes.)

    5. Release Pressure: Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 5 minutes, then do a quick release to let out any remaining pressure.

    6. Serve: Remove the chicken breasts and let them rest for a few minutes. You can thicken the sauce by turning the Instant Pot to sauté and simmering the sauce until it thickens, if desired. Serve the chicken over rice or stir-fried vegetables, drizzled with the sauce and garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

    Optional Variations:

    • For a Spicy Kick: Add some sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
    • Add Vegetables: Toss in some broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots during the cooking process before sealing the pot.

    Feel free to adjust the ingredients according to what you enjoy most. Hope you and your boyfriend love this recipe! Enjoy your cooking!
