Instructions

Instructions:

  • Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Make sure to coat them evenly for maximum flavor.
  • Set your Instant Pot to the “Sauté” mode and add the toasted sesame oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned.
  • Pour in 1 cup of teriyaki sauce and the chicken broth. Stir to combine, ensuring the chicken is well coated in the sauce.
  • Layer the uncooked Jasmine rice on top of the chicken, followed by the chopped bell peppers and broccoli. Pour the remaining 1 cup of teriyaki sauce over the top, but do not stir.
  • Seal the Instant Pot lid and ensure the valve is in the 'Sealing' position. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Allow for a natural release for 10 minutes before switching the valve to 'Venting'.
  • Open the lid and carefully fluff the rice with a fork or rice paddle. Serve the chicken and vegetables in bowls, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
