See the step by step video down in the recipe card. We’re back with the next instalment in my Instant Pot recipes: Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken and Rice! If you’ve been following along, you know that we started pretty basic, with things like How to Cook Frozen Chicken Breasts in the Instant Pot, Juicy Instant Pot Chicken Breasts, and Instant Pot Shredded Chicken, but things are starting to get exciting here. This is one of those recipes that I was pretty sure was going to be a big fail, but when I pulled off that lid I was pleasantly surprised! I couldn’t believe that it cooked up so nicely and I didn’t even get one of those nasty “burn” warnings (you better believe it’s happened before!). The sauce in this Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken and Rice adds great flavor, the chicken is incredibly moist and dinner is ready in about half an hour (mostly hands off!). I wanted to try this in the pressure cooker because of how much we all love this One Pot Teriyaki Chicken, Rice and Vegetables has been here on The Recipe Rebel. It’s a quick meal that’s loaded with protein and veggies! It’s also one my kids will eat enthusiastically, so it’s a winner around here for sure.
Tips and Tricks for Making this Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken and Rice:
I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a lean, healthy meal, but boneless, skinless chicken thighs would work great, too! You don’t need to add any extra cook time. If you want to make this a vegetarian meal, simply omit the chicken and bump up the veg. If you want to make this a gluten-free meal, simply read all of your ingredients carefully to be sure there are no issues, as all of the ingredients themselves are gluten-free. I don’t recommend using any other rice for this recipe, as they all require different amounts of liquid and cook time. This recipe was originally written using brown rice, but I have since updated it to use long grain white rice as it cooks in the same amount of time as the chicken and is more foolproof!
