Instant Pot Sriracha Chicken and Mashed Potatoes
Description
Instant Pot Sriracha Chicken and Mashed Potatoes features chicken breasts coated in a marinade of sriracha, honey, and soy sauce, sealed in foil to infuse the sauce. Russet potatoes are peeled and cubed, placed in the Instant Pot with chicken broth, salt, and pepper. The chicken rests on a trivet above the potatoes, cooking simultaneously under pressure for about nine minutes. This method steams the chicken while softening the potatoes underneath.
After cooking, the potatoes are mashed with butter and milk to create a smooth, creamy texture that balances the spicy glaze on the tender chicken breasts. This hands-off method streamlines the meal, combining two components in one appliance.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp sriracha
- 2-3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 chicken breast
- 3-4 russet potato
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk optional
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together your sriracha, honey, and soy sauce.
- In a piece of tin foil, place your chicken breasts on half and drizzle 80% of your sauce onto it and fold it up like an envelope. Set it aside in the fridge to marinate. (Note: if you have an Instant Pot safe dish for this, feel free to use that instead)
- Peel your russet potatoes and cut them into 1 - 1.5 inch cubes. Place them in the Instant Pot along with 1 cup of broth, salt, and pepper.
- Place a trivet on top of the potatoes and put your packet of chicken breasts on top.
- Close the lid and set it to seal. Turn the Instant Pot on manual for 9 minutes. Quick release once done.
- While the Instant Pot is working its magic, on the stovetop or in the microwave, heat the milk and butter together until hot and the butter has melted. Then add it into the potatoes when it’s done and you’re mashing. If you want to add the milk and butter in cold, that’s fine too! And if you choose to omit it entirely, it’s up to you – I’ve only made it with milk and butter.
- Once you're ready to mash the potatoes, to make the sriracha chicken more saucy, I had brushed the leftover sauce onto the chicken breasts and popped them into the oven for a 2-3 minute broil while I’m mashing the potatoes.
