Easy instant pot Chinese chicken recipe, homemade with simple ingredients in 20 minutes. This shredded Asian chicken is flavored with soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and sesame oil.
Add chicken breasts, green peppers, onions in an instant pot.
Then, whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
Pour this marinade on top of the chicken and peppers.
Mix until combined.
Note: Instead of mixing together the marinade ingredients separately in a bowl, you can just add all the ingredients in the instant pot and mix in there.
Put the lid on and turn the valve to “Sealing.”
Select “Manual” mode and set the timer for 10 minutes.
When the cook time is over, do a quick pressure release.
Remove lid and shred chicken with 2 forks.
Check the consistency of the sauce. If it's too thin, continue cooking uncovered on the "Saute" mode until excess liquid is reduced OR you can mix in a cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes on the "Saute" mode.
Mix in green onions and garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
