Directions

1. INSTRUCTIONS

2. In a large mixing bowl, or a gallon size ziplock (easy clean-up), prepare marinade by mixing together everything listed under “marinade”. Add chicken and mix well. Refrigerate chicken for an hour.

3. Heat oil on SAUTE mode. Add chicken along with marinade. Add very little water as the chicken and marinade would also release liquid while cooking. If you want to cook rice using pot-in-pot technique, place trivet on top of chicken. In an oven safe bowl, combine rice, water and salt. Place that on top of trivet. Close lid. Hit Cancel and press Manual or Pressure Cook for 6 minutes, vent set to sealing position.

4. Wait for 10 minutes and then manually release pressure by turning the knob to ‘venting’ position. Open lid after pin drops. Remove chicken for slicing. This is optional. If you want to thicken the sauce a little, turn on SAUTE for 2-3 minutes. Add sliced chicken back in the pot and coat with sauce.

5. Serve with pickled cucumber over rice, or, lettuce cups for a low-carb option.
