Instant Pot Chicken and Broccoli  Stir Fry – a popular Chinese takeout favorite made easily in the pressure cooker in under 30 minutes! Easy to customize and perfect for busy weeknights.

Quick and easy stir-fries are one of the of our favorite things to make when we want dinner on the table fast. We grew up eating a different stir-fry almost every night of the week depending on what my mom had in her fridge. I love that with just a few pantry ingredients, you can have your own restaurant quality takeout style meal at home.

This Instant Pot Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry is the perfect one pan dish .

1.  You’re going to start off by making the easy homemade sauce

2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks and season with some sea salt, black pepper and 1-2 tablespoons of the sauce.

3. Prep and cut up your broccoli, carrots or any other vegetables you like while the chicken marinates.

4. Turn on your Instant Pot and press the SAUTE button. Add oil when hot then brown the chicken for about 1-2 minutes. Add sauce along with the water / chicken broth and cover with the lid.

5. Lock the lid and push the valve to SEALING. Press MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK for 4 minutes.

6. The Instant Pot will take some time to come to pressure. Once the 4 minutes is up, use a long spoon and push the valve to VENTING for a QUICK RELEASE.

7. Once all the pressure is released, carefully unlock the lid. Press the SAUTE button, then whisk together the arrowroot starch (or xanthum gum) then stir into the Instant Pot.

8. Add the vegetables and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the sauce has thickened. Adjust seasonings and add more water as needed to thin out. Give everything a final tossing to coat well.

9. Garnish with sesame seeds and / or green onions if desired and serve with your favorite sides.
