Prep Time

This dish comes together quickly and easily. The prep time is only 10 minutes, so you can have dinner on the table in no time. All you have to do is prepare the ingredients and have your Instant Pot ready to go.

Cook Time

Once the ingredients are prepped, the cooking time only takes around 15 minutes. The Instant Pot does all the work for you, so you can just sit back and relax while your meal cooks.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 can pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add the olive oil, and once it is heated, add the chicken cubes. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.

3. Add the pineapple chunks and stir to combine. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing.

4. Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Once the cooking is done, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.

5. Open the lid of the Instant Pot, and stir in the fresh cilantro. Serve over cooked rice or quinoa.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Notes

Feel free to add more or less of the spices, depending on how much heat you like. You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as bell peppers or broccoli. If you prefer to use fresh pineapple instead of canned, you can do that, too. Just increase the cooking time to 8 minutes.
