Instant Pot Pineapple Chicken

Instant Pot Pineapple Chicken is a healthy Hawaiian-inspired recipe that everyone loves.

– cooking oil (I used avocado oil) – boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs – onion – red or green bell pepper – garlic cloves – can pineapple chunks (with the juice) – soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos  – brown sugar  – arrowroot starch – rice vinegar – green onions (optional, for serving) – cooked rice or cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)

INGREDIENTS:

STEP 1

Press the Sauté button and pour in the cooking oil. Let the oil heat up. Then, add the chicken, onion, bell pepper, and garlic into the pot and sauté , stirring so the chicken starts to change color on all sides.

STEP 2

Cancel the Sauté function and add the pineapple chunks and the pineapple juice, soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos), and brown sugar. Stir to combine.

STEP 3

When the cooking time is up, remove the lid and press the Sauté button and add the arrowroot starch to the pot. Use a whisk to make sure the starch dissolves into the liquid. Let the liquid simmer so it can start to thicken.

STEP 4

Cancel the Sauté button and stir in the rice vinegar.
