Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon hot chili sesame oil
1 medium sweet onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup chopped broccoli
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon grated orange zest
¾ cup orange juice
½ cup reduced-sodium tamari
¼ cup spicy chili sauce (such as Maggi® Masala)
¼ cup honey
1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup chicken broth, warmed
2 tablespoons aji mirin sweet rice cooking wine (such as Kikkoman®)

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat sesame oil in the pot and add onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Add broccoli, garlic, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, ginger, and orange zest. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in orange juice, tamari, chili sauce, and honey. Stir in chicken. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk cornstarch with chicken broth until dissolved.
  • Pull chicken and vegetables out of the sauce using a large slotted spoon. Place pressure cooker back on Saute mode. Cook until sauce starts bubbling; add cornstarch mixture. Let sit for 1 minute, stir, and turn pressure cooker off.
  • Stir aji mirin into the sauce. Add chicken and vegetables back in.

I'm not a fan of orange sauce, but this dish was still really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some broccoli and carrots to the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and overcooked.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The orange sauce is really sweet and tangy.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of honey.

This recipe was an absolute hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be making this again.
