Ingredients

1 pound boneless chicken tenders or breasts can sub bone-in meat
2/3 cups soy sauce low sodium to lessen salty flavor
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
Sesame Seeds optional
Rice optional

Cornstarch Slurry

1/4 cup cold water
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Start by spraying your instant pot with cooking spray on the bottom. Lay down your raw chicken.
In a bowl add your water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger into a bowl. Whip it up until well mixed.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Place lid on the pressure cooker and make sure the valve is set to sealing.
Do high pressure for 10 minutes, with a 5-minute natural release. Once done with the 5-minute natural release, release the rest of the pressure.
Remove chicken and shred or dice up, and set aside.
Turn saute feature on, and let it get hot. Then in a bowl mix your cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water together. Stir well and then pour into the Instant Pot.
Stir continuously until sauce thickens. This takes just a minute or two. Pour chicken back in, stir and then turn off Instant Pot.
Serve this Instant Pot Teriyaki chicken with rice, cauliflower rice, or any of your favorite fixings.
I sauteed onions and peppers in a pan and topped our chicken teriyaki with it along with some white long grain rice.

Notes

If you do bone-in chicken thighs or other cut cook for 12 minutes, then ensure the meat reaches 165 degrees internal temperature.
