Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Bowl

One of the best things about this recipe is that it uses a jar of teriyaki sauce.

If you have all of the ingredients on hand to make your own teriyaki sauce, be my guest! But sometimes it’s nice to have a little shortcut, isn’t it?

Another reason you’re going to love this recipe is that you can cook the Instant Pot white rice and the chicken together at the same time!

For the veggies, you can either chop some up or buy a bag of steamable veggies from the produce section. I used broccoli, but you can choose whatever you prefer!

All in all, this is one super easy meal, from start to finish, that will allow you to enjoy a tasty dinner with minimal effort. I have a feeling this will become a new favorite Instant Pot chicken dinner recipe for your family!

How to Make this Teriyaki Chicken Bowl Recipe

It’s really easy to make teriyaki bowls in the Instant Pot! You’ll need a few basic ingredients to get started.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• Bottle of teriyaki sauce
• Water
• Uncooked white rice
• Steamable veggies of choice

How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe is available below)

Combine chicken and sauce. First, you’ll combine the chicken, sauce, and a little water in the insert pot of the Instant Pot.

It’s important to add a little bit of water to thin the sauce, so it doesn’t scorch on the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Place the trivet directly on top of the chicken.

Prepare the rice. Next, you’ll combine rice and water in a greased heatproof pan that fits in your Instant Pot. I love using this bundt pan for this purpose–it works great! Lower the pan onto the trivet.

Cook. Last, you’ll cook at high pressure for 4 minutes, followed by a natural release. While the pressure is releasing, go ahead and steam your veggies in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Assemble. Assemble the teriyaki bowls by spooning rice, chicken and sauce, and veggies into a bowl. Enjoy!

Notes and Adaptations:

• Plain white rice works best for this recipe because its cook time is closest to what the chicken needs. I would not recommend brown rice, which has a much longer cook time. You could use jasmine rice or basmati rice, but you will need to increase the cook time to 6 minutes, which will cook your chicken a bit more.
• Feel free to add other ingredients as you desire–pineapple, cabbage, or bell peppers would be nice additions. These can be added during the cook time.
