Instant Pot General Tso's Chicken - Only 4 Ingredients! Perfect for Beginners

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians; chicken thighs are often cheaper than breasts.

Start with 3 to 4 chicken breasts and place them in the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Add 1/4 cup of light soy sauce over the chicken.

Pour 1/4 cup of honey on top of the soy sauce.

Add 1 clove of minced garlic to the sauce mixture and mix well.

Drizzle the sauce mixture over the chicken in the Instant Pot.

Close the lid and ensure it is sealed properly, setting the knob to sealing.

Cook on manual for 10 minutes since the chicken is cut into pieces.

After cooking, perform a quick release of the pressure.

Remove the lid and mix the chicken around in the sauce to coat it well.

Optionally shred the chicken for better sauce distribution.

Serve the chicken over rice or plain, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
