Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken

Fabulous Asian flavor in record time.

We love this easy Instant Pot Chicken recipe!

What I love about my Instant Pot – well, at least one thing I love– is the way it expands my dinner choices.

See, we all have such busy schedules that often, I only have about half an hour to get dinner ready. So, for years, there were lots of dishes we loved that we couldn’t have very often, because they took too long. But now, thanks to my trusty Instant Pot, those slower recipes are literally back on the table.

For example, I have this great Teriyaki Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner. It’s delicious and easy, but it takes about an hour in the oven. So I had to save it for evenings when I knew I’d have an hour to cook.

But now, if I get a teriyaki craving on a busy weeknight, it’s no problem. My Instant Pot can take me from uncooked chicken breasts to fully cooked, shredded chicken in a salty-sweet, delicately spicy teriyaki sauce in about half an hour – even less if I dice the chicken before cooking.

If you’re a busy teriyaki fan, give it a try. And if you don’t know how you feel about teriyaki because you’ve never had time to make it, now’s your chance to find out.
