4 Minute Instant Pot Orange Chicken Recipe

The best 4 minute Instant Pot orange chicken recipe I’ve made so far! Super easy to make with just 5 ingredients and a healthy pressure cooker recipe too.

Oh I have to say that this may be our favorite 4 minute Instant Pot recipe so far! I have made orange chicken in the crockpot for years but now with this favorite 7 in 1 appliance of mine I had to try it in there to see how much faster it would be and it came out amazing!! As with most of my recipes I start with the way I’ve made it for quite some time and tinker with it until it comes out great in my Instant Pot, you can make it in your pressure cooker too this way. Using just 4 ingredients you too can make this Instant Pot orange chicken recipe in just about 7 minutes (the rice takes longer than this does…lol). Here’s how you make it, it’s also listed on our page with our other Instant Pot recipes.

I know…looks fantastic right??!! I will say it is even better than the one I’ve always made in my crockpot! I added a bit of onion to this one and it made for a great addition and came out tender just like the chicken, and great with the orange sauce. Add a bit of chives or green onion to the top and serve it over rice and it’s not only a quick Instant Pot chicken recipe but a really healthy one too. We call this “sweet chicken” in our house and my kids all love it! This is the Instant Pot I have and may I say it has made my life so much easier, and has allowed us to sit and eat a great meal as a family more often because it cooks everything so quickly!

Here’s how easy it is to make:

If you really like a strong orange flavor you can add 1/2 c. of marmelade, but we just like a hint so 1/3 c. is just perfect. If you have a larger household just double this recipe and it works just fine too, may have to cook for 5 minutes instead of 4 if cooking a much larger batch. Really healthy pressure cooker chicken recipe that never really gets old for us.
