Instant Pot Hibachi Chicken Dinner

This Instant Pot Hibachi Chicken Dinner combines diced chicken thighs with carrots, cabbage, and onions cooked under pressure with a soy-based sauce. The cooking finishes by thickening the sauce using a cornstarch slurry, creating a well-coated, tender chicken and vegetable dish that captures hibachi-style flavors in a convenient one-pot meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thigh diced, skinless boneless
  • 2 carrot cut into 1/2 inch discs
  • 3 cups cabbage roughly chopped
  • 1 onion peeled and sliced into big pieces
  • 1/3 cup tamari soy sauce or regular if not GF
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth reduced sodium
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil toasted if possible
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add chicken, carrots, cabbage, onion into the Instant Pot insert.
  2. Mix together soy sauce, broth, garlic, and sesame oil. Pour in the insert.
  3. Place the lid on, seal, select high pressure, and set to the pressure cook / manual cook setting for 4 minutes.
  4. Then perform a quick pressure release to release all of the pressure. At this point, you can serve as is, but it is much better if you thicken the sauce.
  5. Remove chicken and veggies, but leave the sauce in.
  6. Make cornstarch slurry by mixing 2 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp water, and add it to the sauce.
  7. Choose the sauté setting and saute until the sauce thickens.
  8. Switch off and add the chicken and vegetables back in. Mix before serving.

Notes

  • Use low sodium broth and tamari to control saltiness in the dish.
  • Select vegetables like carrots and cabbage that maintain texture during pressure cooking.
  • Defrost frozen chicken before cooking for even doneness.
  • The recipe can be doubled but do not exceed the Instant Pot's max fill line.
  • Cooking time excludes pressure build and release durations.
  • Gluten-free version can be made by using gluten-free tamari soy sauce.
  • Prepare in advance and portion leftovers for easy reheat meals.
