Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken tenders can also use 2 large breasts
- 1 white onion; slice into half rounds
- 1 package baby bella mushrooms; sliced
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons garlic
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Place chicken cubed into the instant pot. Pour in one cup water. Set the valve to the sealed position. Push the manual or pressure cook button and set timer to 8 minutes or 10 minutes if your chicken is frozen.
- Drain the liquid from the chicken. Add in the onions and mushrooms.
- Turn off your Instant Pot and turn on the sauté mode. Set the lid on top of the instant pot. This allows the onions and mushrooms to steam and become tender. Stir often.
- In a liquid measuring cup mix together teriyaki sauce, garlic, and cornstarch. Whisk well. Pour this over the chicken, onions, and mushrooms while on sauté mode. This will thicken fast. Once the Teriyaki sauce starts to thicken turn off the sauté mode.
- Add the black pepper and stir well. Serve over steamed rice.

Cooking Tips
Searing for Flavor: Before pressure cooking, sear the chicken pieces in the Instant Pot using the “Sauté” function. This step enhances the flavor by creating a caramelized exterior on the chicken.
