- 2 c Homemade Teriyaki Sauce or use 1 bottle of store bought sauce
- 1.5-2 lbs chicken boneless skinless breasts or thighs, cubed into bite size pcs.

- 2 tbsp cornstarch optional
- 1 tbsp soy sauce optional
Instructions
- Cube chicken into small bite size pieces. Add into Instant Pot or pressure cooker
- Pour jar of teriyaki sauce, pineapple chunks, and soy sauce into pot. If making homemade teriyaki, whisk all ingredients in a bowl and pour in now.
- Stir so all chicken pieces are mostly covered with liquid.- do not use thick teriyaki sauces as those will burn
- Put lid on, close pressure valve, and set to pressure high for 3 minutes.
- When it beeps allow it to sit for 1 minute to avoid splatter, then do a quick release on your steam valve and carefully lift the lid and make sure your largest piece of chicken is not pink.
- If you want the sauce to be a bit thicker remove your chicken, set pot to saute, and put about 3 tbsp. of your hot liquid in a small bowl with about 2 tbsp. cornstarch and whisk together until smooth, then add back into the mix and stir.
- Allow to bubble so the sauce thickens a bit. Add chicken back in. Serve over rice!
