My top, number one, favorite meals to cook in my Instant Pot are Asian dishes. Chinese take-out, Japanese dining, and Thai restaurants can be very pricey for families. The sticker shock alone is enough to make me want to buy a stack of Asian cookbooks and never look back! Not to mention, Asian restaurants tend to be much greasier or spicier than I would prefer. When I make my favorite meals at home, I can adjust my oil and spices to suit my family’s taste and diet.

Today’s recipe is a sweet and spicy rendition of Thai Chicken Rice. It is everything I love about Thai cooking, but just a little bit milder so I don’t regret it the next day! I start by mixing my favorite sauces together with minced ginger, garlic, and lime juice! I love the combination of sweet chili Thai sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce; could put it on everything if my family would let me! Sometimes I make this sauce a day ahead, or in the morning, so the flavors have a chance to marry. If you think about it ahead of time, do it! If not, no worries, just prepare and set it aside before sautéing your chicken.

One of the best features available to us on the Instant Pot is the ability to cook food using various methods — all in one pot! Start with a sauté, finish with a pressure cooker! Slow cook when you’re feeling froggy. It’s pretty amazing, right? For this meal, you’re going, to begin with a sauté. Add a little olive oil to your Instant Pot and sauté your halved chicken breasts for two-three minutes. Just so the outside browns a little. When you’re done, remove the chicken from your Pot and set aside.

This is as technical as this meal gets! The rest is just waiting for rice to cook. Pour your rice and broth into the Instant Pot. Stir together. Set your chicken directly on top of the rice (don’t stir) and top the chicken with your sweet chili Sriracha sauce mix. Don’t worry if the sauce runs down into your rice a little. It will a blend together inside the Instant Pot as it cooks anyway.

After your Thai chicken and rice are finished and have completed the natural release cycle, remove the chicken and shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the Pot, stir into the rice and plate!
