Ingredients 

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

Stir Fry Sauce

Instructions 

  • Dice the chicken into bite-size pieces and place in the bottom of the instant pot.
  • Mix the stir-fry sauce ingredients (except for the cornstarch) together and pour over the chicken. Give it a quick stir to ensure the chicken is fully coated by the sauce.
  • Place the lid on and set the seal to close.  Cook on manual high pressure for 6 minutes, and do a quick release.
  • After the pressure has fully released, open and add the chopped vegetables.
  • Add the lid back on and cook on manual high pressure for 1 minute (or 0 minutes for less cooked vegetables), and do a quick release when it finishes.
  • Select the saute function, and while it heats, mix the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of cold water.  When you see a slight simmer starting, add the cornstarch slurry into the liquid and stir for 2-4 minutes while it thickens.
  • Serve the chicken, vegetables, and sauce over rice or ramen!  Garnish with minced green onion if you’d like.
