Instructions

Combine brown sugar, ketchup, teriyaki sauce, garlic, black pepper, and sriracha in a bowl.  Pour over the chicken breasts and stir to combine.  Add the chicken with sauce to your Instant Pot. Set to Sealing and pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.  Add 2 bags of boil in a bag white rice to a pot on the stove, or microwave following directions on box. When the chicken is finished cooking, do a quick release.  Remove chicken and add to plate then turn your Instant Pot on Saute setting.  If your sauce is too thin, take ¼ cup of water and add 3 tbsp cornstarch, stir into a slurry.

Recipe Notes

To make this a freezer meal:

Combine the marinade and chicken together in a gallon size Ziplock bag. This will keep in the freezer for 3 months. When you’re ready to make it, thaw the bag overnight in the fridge and then continue the steps above for preparation in the Instant Pot.
