Step 2

Place chicken in an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour sauce over chicken. Close and lock the lid. Select Meat function; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 3

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C); if not, cook chicken for another 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 4

Remove chicken from the pot and cut up or shred. Mix with the sauce from the pot.

Cook's Note:

For a thicker sauce, cook for a few minutes using the Saute function.

Really easy. Was looking for a way to quickly make some chicken for dinner. Did NOT make the teriyaki sauce used a jarred sauce I already had. Chicken was falling apart. The sauce is thin but made a delicious addition to the rice. Read More
