Ingredients
- 1 ½- 2 pounds boneless chicken legs or thighs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (⅛ stick)
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 red bell pepper cut into slices
- 1 green bell pepper cut into slices
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Using the sauté feature, add butter, onions, peppers and garlic to the pot. Sauté until they are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Turn off the sauté feature and add the chicken pieces, along with all of the remaining ingredients. Close the lid and seal. Turn the valve to sealing, and then cook on HIGH for 15 minutes.
- When done cooking, let it sit for 5 minutes before releasing the remaining steam.
- Remove the lid, and stir the chicken and vegetables. Select the sauté feature again, and then using a spoon or fork, turn the chicken pieces over, and let them sauté in the sauce for about 5 -8 minutes.
- As the chicken and sauce is simmering, stir once or twice, just to be sure it doesn’t burn.
- When done, remove the bay leaves, and serve the chicken over rice.
