Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken Recipe
While I love my slow cooker recipes, I’ve been learning to love my Instant Pot pressure cooker too. My favorite Instant Pot recipes are one-pot recipes. This chicken recipe is all made in the Instant Pot except for the rice. But I usually make a bag of boil-in-bag rice while the chicken cooks.
Our Instant Pot Spaghetti and Instant Pot Chili Mac recipes are some of our favorite one-pot dinners that the whole family enjoys!
I like Instant Pot recipes that only need one pot because that means they’re easy! This pressure cooker Teriyaki Chicken recipe definitely qualifies!
If you’ve ever had Huli Huli Chicken, the savory marinade is what inspired this chicken and rice recipe! It’s a savory and sweet glaze that works great for both chicken and pork! It’s packed with great tropical flavor!
The leftover chicken also makes great sandwiches, especially on Hawaiian rolls!
