    Teriyaki chicken is one of my family’s favorite meals. We love how sweet and tangy it is. That sticky teriyaki glaze is just irresistible! My favorite way to make it is in the Instant Pot, and let me tell you, you will not believe how easy it is.

    This is the easiest teriyaki chicken recipe you will ever make at home. The ingredients are super simple, the prep work is so easy, and the Instant Pot makes cooking the chicken effortless.

    I know you’re going to love this recipe. Serve it over rice or in a pineapple bowl for the most delicious Teriyaki Chicken Bowls ever!

    FAQs

    Which teriyaki sauce is best?

    We make our own teriyaki sauce for this easy Instant Pot teriyaki chicken! It’s perfectly thick, easy to make gluten-free, and has so much flavor.

    How do you thicken teriyaki sauce?

    We use a mix of equal parts cornstarch and water to thicken our teriyaki chicken sauce. Cornstarch is gluten-free, so you can use this method even in a gluten-free teriyaki chicken.Teriyaki chicken in the Instant Pot

    Can I use chicken breasts?

    Yes, you can use chicken breasts in place of thighs.

    Can I use frozen chicken?

    Yes! For boneless, skinless thighs, cook on high pressure for 20 minutes and use quick or natural release to release the pressure. For boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cook for 15 minutes on high pressure. Once done cooking, shred or slice the chicken.

    Can I make this dish gluten-free?

    Yes, it’s easy! The only ingredient that may contain gluten in this recipe is the soy sauce. Replace soy sauce with tamari shoyu, a gluten-free Japanese soy sauce, to keep this dish gluten-free.

    What do you eat teriyaki chicken with?

    Serve over stovetop rice or Instant Pot rice. You can also serve teriyaki chicken over noodles or with vegetables as a stir-fry.

    Teriyaki Chicken with Pineapple

    One of my favorite ways to serve this dish is in pineapple boats. Teriyaki pineapple chicken is delicious! For special occasions or just for fun, I make my chicken teriyaki pineapple bowl by cutting a whole pineapple into a boat.

    1. Slice a ripe pineapple in half lengthwise using a sharp knife.

    2. Place the pineapple halves cut side up. Use a paring knife to slice an oval around the inside of the pineapple. Leave about 1 inch around the edges and do not pierce all the way through.
      Cut slits horizontally inside the oval, about 1 inch wide.

    3. Use a large spoon to scoop out the cut pineapple and transfer to a bowl. You can serve the pineapple with your chicken. Try adding it to your Instant Pot teriyaki chicken while it cooks!

    Making pineapple teriyaki chicken bowls is so much fun. If you have pineapple and some extra time, give it a try!
