Ingredients

2 servings

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 2 (4 ounce) chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ⅓ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (soy-free seasoning sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil.
  • Combine cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, and Chinese five-spice powder in a bowl. Toss chicken in the mixture to coat and shake off excess.
  • Saute coated chicken in the hot oil in the pressure cooker pot until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and allow to drain on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Clean out the pressure cooker pot.
  • Turn pressure cooker on again and select Saute function. Combine orange juice, water, vinegar, coconut aminos, cornstarch, sugar, garlic, and ginger in the pot and cook, whisking regularly, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add cooked chicken and toss to coat.
