Sweet and Spicy Instant Pot Chicken Bowl

I made this in my instant pot and it was SO EASY. And probably took 30 minutes all together. Spicy, flavorful and the chicken is so tender and delicious. Plus it's good for you too. I made a homemade quick slaw too that was the perfect pairing with the spicy chicken.

serving size: 4

What you need for the chicken:
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast
  • 1 cup carrot, diced
  • 1-2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup liquid amino's
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of garlic chili paste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch to help thicken sauce
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • *extras: green onion, sesame seed, hemp seeds, peanuts, sriracha
What you need for the quick pickled cabbage:
  • 1/2 cup cole slaw mix
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, sliced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider finger
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced dehydrated onion
What you need to do:
  1. Prepare your pickled cabbage first and let sit in the refrigerator, the longer the better!
  2. Place all ingredients in instant pot and place chicken on top
  3. Stir around to coat chicken
  4. Turn on high pressure and cook 10 minutes
  5. One the timer goes off, use the quick release valve to release pressure
  6. Once done, saute an extra 3-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the sauce
  7. Assemble your bowls and top with extras!
