Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken – Start by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 2: Mix the Sauce – In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, water, vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and pepper.
- Step 3: Sauté the Chicken – Turn on your Instant Pot and select the ‘Sauté’ function. Once hot, add a splash of oil and the chicken pieces. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is lightly browned.
- Step 4: Add the Sauce – Once the chicken is browned, pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the pot. Stir to combine.
- Step 5: Pressure Cook – Secure the lid on your Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook on high for 8 minutes. After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release.
- Step 6: Serve – Carefully open the lid and give the chicken a gentle stir. Serve it over steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or in lettuce wraps.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for an hour before cooking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the pot after cooking.
