Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipe Needed!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some delicious chicken breast recipes for my Instant Pot. I personally love chicken thighs, but my boyfriend prefers chicken breasts for that extra protein!

I’m on a mission to find a simple and flavorful way to cook chicken breast in the Instant Pot—something quick and easy that requires minimal cleanup. We’re big fans of Asian cuisine, particularly Indian and Chinese dishes, but I’m open to trying new flavors and ideas!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

  1. Absolutely! Here’s a quick and easy Instant Pot recipe for Asian-style chicken breast that’s flavorful and perfect for a no-brainer meal:

    Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken Breast

    Ingredients:
    – 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    – 1 cup of low-sodium soy sauce
    – 1/2 cup of honey or brown sugar
    – 1/4 cup of rice vinegar
    – 2 cloves of garlic, minced
    – 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
    – 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
    – 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (for thickening)
    – 2 tablespoons of water (for thickening)
    – Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

    Instructions:

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

    2. Add Chicken to Instant Pot: Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and pour the teriyaki sauce over them.

    3. Cook: Lock the lid and ensure the valve is set to sealing. Set the Instant Pot to “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

    4. Quick Release: When the cooking time is up, do a quick release of the pressure by turning the valve to venting.

    5. Thicken Sauce (Optional): If you like a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and set it aside. Mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl, then stir it into the sauce in the pot. Use the “Sauté” function to simmer the sauce for a couple of minutes until it thickens.

    6. Serve: Slice the chicken, drizzle with the thickened sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve over rice or noodles to complete the meal!

    This recipe is so easy, and the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce makes the chicken breast juicy and delicious. Enjoy!
