Apple-Ginger Chicken in the Instant Pot

, ,

This is the perfect fall meal! Kids love it, adults love it, it’s easy and comes together in one bowl for serving.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless, skinless, chicken thighs (about 8)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 T fresh ground or diced or grated ginger. I use the squeeze tube of fresh ginger.
  • 3 T cornstarch
  • 3 T water (cool, but room temp is fine)
  • 1 bag of frozen broccoli florets (10-12oz)

Instructions

Add the apple cider, soy sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic powder, and ginger to your instant pot. Whisk it until combined, then add the chicken thighs, turning to coat. Secure the pressure cooker lid and seal it. Cook on high pressure for 13 minutes, then do a 10 minute natural release. While the chicken is cooking, steam your broccoli. I do mine in the microwave. Mix the 3T of cornstarch and 3T water in a small bowl until there are no clumps and set aside. Release the pressure on your pressure cooker and use tongs to remove all the cooked chicken. In the pressure cooker, whisk in the corn starch and water mixture until it is incorporated. Then add the steamed broccoli. Shred the chicken and add that in as well, gently mixing it all together. Serve over steamed rice and enjoy!

About Me

Hello friend, my name is Katie and pizza is my favorite food. Yes, I’m in my thirties and yes, I have three daughters that I’m raising and homeschooling and nagging, but I think you’d be most interested to know that I would eat pizza for every meal of every day and never complain. There was a brief time (ages 8-11) when I thought that mashed potatoes was my favorite food, but I’ve since come around. That being said, I don’t only talk about pizza. Here you will find slices of homeschooling life, home decor, cooking, musings, and an occasional funny meme. In fact, I think you will find a shocking lack of pizza content as a whole, but now you know the truth: Pizza is always close to mind.
