Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS:

Generously season chicken with salt and pepper. Select Sauté and when hot, add oil and chicken to pressure cooking pot. Sauté chicken for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
Turn pressure cooker off and stir in 1/2 cup BBQ sauce and pineapple juice to the pressure cooking pot. Lock lid in place, select High Pressure and 3 minutes cook time. When timer sounds, use a quick pressure release. When valve drops, carefully remove lid.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water and add to pressure cooking pot. Select Sauté and simmer until liquid thickens. Add remaining BBQ sauce and pineapple chunks to the chicken in the pressure cooking pot and stir to combine.
Serve over rice garnished with green onions.


Note: If necessary, add a little water to the pineapple juice to equal 1/2 cup.

You can cook rice at the same time you cook the chicken. Here’s how I to do it. Use a 7×3 inch round cake pan or similar dish, and add rice ingredients – stir to combine. Skip sautéing the chicken in the first step and just sauté the garlic then add the raw diced chicken with the ingredients in step two. Place a rack on top of the chicken in the pressure cooking pot, and place the cake pan on top of the rack.
