INSTANT POT® TERIYAKI CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, mirin, sake, garlic, and pepper in a bowl to make a sauce.

• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C); if not, cook chicken for another 2 to 4 minutes.

• Add 1 1/4 cups water and the rice to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot®. Place the broccoli on top of the rice. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Gently scoop out the broccoli and rice into a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside until ready to serve.
• Add the oil, garlic, scallion whites and ginger to the same pot (there is no need to rinse the pot out). Set to high saute for 4 minutes and cook until softened, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Add the broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, salt and black pepper, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
• Add the chicken breasts. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 6 minutes (for a 6-ounce chicken breast) to 8 minutes (for an 8-ounce breast). After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board using tongs and slice crosswise.
• In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 teaspoons cold water and add to the sauce in the pot. Set to high saute for 4 minutes. Continuously whisk until the teriyaki sauce is thickened.
