Instant Pot Bang Bang Chicken
Description
This recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked in an Instant Pot with a mixture of sriracha, chicken stock, and rice vinegar. The chicken is placed on a rack above a bowl of rice and water, allowing both to cook simultaneously under pressure. The cooking cycle lasts 6 minutes on high pressure, followed by a natural 10-minute pressure release for even cooking.
Once done, the rice is carefully removed and fluffed, and the chicken breasts are shredded. A sauce combining mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sugar is prepared separately to dress the shredded chicken, balancing creaminess, tang, sweetness, and heat. Fresh cabbage blend, chopped tomato, and green onion are used as fresh toppings, offering texture and color contrast.
The recipe suggests flexibility in serving options: the chicken can be enjoyed with or without the rice, or served atop salads, in wraps, or tacos. This versatility broadens the ways the dish can fit various meals.
Adjustments in sriracha quantity in the sauce let you control spice levels to taste, and the use of an Instant Pot simplifies the cooking process for a cohesive meal with minimal pots.
