A quick and easy Instant Pot recipe for sweet and sour chicken, offering a delicious balance of tangy and savory flavors with tender chicken pieces.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup sweet and sour sauce
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode. Add olive oil, garlic, and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add chicken pieces to the pot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides.
  3. In a bowl, mix the sweet and sour sauce, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the Instant Pot.
  4. Close the Instant Pot lid, set to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on high for 5 minutes.
  5. When the cooking time is done, perform a quick release of pressure.
  6. Mix cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Set the Instant Pot back to ‘Sauté’ mode and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Let the sauce thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add chopped bell peppers and onions to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the veggies are tender.
  8. Serve the sweet and sour chicken over cooked rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a juicier result.
  • You can add other vegetables like carrots or snap peas for extra crunch and flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a small chopped chili to the sauce.
