Melissa Hartwig'S Instant Pot Sesame Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 cup Whole30-compliant chicken broth
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Whole30-compliant fish sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 (10.8-ounce) package frozen broccoli florets, or 4 cups broccoli florets, steamed (see Tips)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tips)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- PLACE the chicken in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of the arrowroot and toss to coat.
- ON a 6-quart Instant Pot, select Saute and adjust to Normal/Medium. Add the avocado oil. When it's hot, add half the chicken and cook, stirring once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Select Cancel.
- MEANWHILE, in a small bowl, whisk together the broth, coconut aminos, vinegar, sesame oil, fish sauce, and remaining 1 teaspoon arrowroot until the arrowroot is dissolved. Add red pepper flakes (if using).
- RETURN all of the chicken to the pot. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Lock the lid in place. Select Manual and cook for 6 minutes. Use quick release. Stir the chicken. Let stand until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the broccoli according to package directions.
- SERVE the chicken over the broccoli. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions.
- Tips: To steam fresh broccoli florets, combine in a microwave-safe bowl with 3 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. To toast sesame seeds, heat in a skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
