This Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken is another fun and fabulous meal to make for your family. I love it when recipes are easy to make, easy to cook in one pot, and then easy to clean up afterwards. You’ll love that this teriyaki chicken Instant Pot recipe tastes. You can eat it by itself, or easily enjoy it over a bed delicious jasmine rice. 

Why Do I love this Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki Recipe?

I love an easy one pot meal recipe that I don’t have to stress about it. I love chicken teriyaki, and there’s just something more delicious about making it at home! Plus I can also make it in batches, so it helps with meal planning, too!

In this method of using whole chicken breasts in this recipe, we shred the breasts when we’re done. However, you don’t have to cook them whole and then shred them. You can cut the chicken breasts up into cubes, and then cook them. 

For the carrot coins, you take whole carrots and use a standard grater with grooves in it. I used my handy mandolin that has that attachment. Mandolins are perfect for slicing up uniform veggies. 

You can definitely double the recipe; however, if you do then you must increase the cooking time! No…you don’t double the time. You’re chicken will wind up drier than sandpaper and chewier than a leather belt. Add on an extra 4 minutes of cooking time to the pressure, and then allow it to fully NPR. 

The directions for this Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken states to NPR for 10 minutes, and then QPR. We are going to allow the Instant Pot to fully NPR when you double the recipe. 

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, then you can also make this in your Slow Cooker, and I’ve added the recipes below the Instant Pot one for you to follow along with!

When your teriyaki chicken Instant Pot recipe is done, this is the texture you will have in the pot. That teriyaki glaze is going to be amazing over rice. I normally buy frozen jasmine rice from Trader Joe’s, as it makes my meal time preparation done with less stress. I normally cook the frozen rice into the sauce when I pull out the chicken  to shred. 

This Teriyaki Chicken Instant Pot Recipe Is A Fabulous WW Instant Pot Meal!

If you’re doing the whole Weight Watchers plan (Now WW), then you’ll love that 1 serving will yield you 5 Freestyle Smart Points! Now can we be a little honest here? Most of the points is coming from the honey and brown sugar in sauce. If you drain off a lot of the sauce, you will totally be reducing your points by at least one or two! However, I’m adding the points in there because maybe you might want some of that delicious sauce over a bed of rice. 

Making Weight Watchers Instant Pot meals saves you so much time, and is also a great resource for batch cooking!
