Better Than Takeout Chicken with Mixed Vegetables and Rice

If you’re a fan of instant pot recipes, you’re in luck! Today, we’re going to make a mouth-watering, better-than-takeout chicken with mixed vegetables and rice, all cooked to perfection in our instant pot. This recipe is a game-changer, and the best part is that it’s incredibly easy to make.

The Ingredients

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s take a look at the ingredients we’ll be using. We’ll need snow peas, red and green peppers, broccoli, shallots, ginger, garlic, chicken breasts, avocado oil, sriracha, broth, garlic block, soy sauce, rice wine, oyster sauce, and rinsed rice and water.

Preparing the Vegetables

First, let’s prepare our vegetables. We’ll need to remove the tough membrane from the snow peas, slice the peppers, chop the broccoli, and slice the shallots. We’ll also grate the ginger and garlic using a microplane for a hack that makes a big difference.

Cooking the Chicken and Vegetables

Next, we’ll sauté the shallots, ginger, and garlic in avocado oil in our instant pot set to high. Then, we’ll add the sliced chicken and cook until it’s lightly browned. After that, we’ll add the sriracha, broth, soy sauce, rice wine, and oyster sauce, stirring everything together.

Cooking the Rice

Now it’s time to cook the rice. We’ll place the rinsed rice and water in a heat-proof bowl, and put it on the trivet in the instant pot. Then, we’ll close the lid and set the instant pot to high pressure for four minutes, followed by ten minutes of natural pressure release.

Adding the Vegetables

Once the rice is cooked, we’ll add the broccoli and other vegetables to the instant pot, stirring everything together. We’ll leave it for five minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook to the perfect crunchiness. If you prefer your vegetables softer, you can cook them on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Serving and Seasoning

Finally, it’s time to serve our delicious better-than-takeout chicken with mixed vegetables and rice. We can top it with toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and cilantro, and add any additional seasoning if needed.
