    Instant Pot Hawaiian Chicken

    I’ve been on a kick with shredded chicken lately. It’s just so easy to make a batch and mix and match meals with it. One day a shredded chicken bowl, another day inside of a wrap, and if I’m feeling fancy, I toss it into an omelette! 

    Shredded chicken is such a versatile recipe! What do you like to put your shredded chicken in? Anyways, today I have this super easy version of Hawaiian chicken – it only takes a few ingredients that should already be in your pantry. Super easy – the most work you’ll be doing is shredding the chicken!

    What You’ll Need To Make This Hawaiian Chicken

    ingredients for hawaiian chicken

    • soy sauce: I really suggest using a low sodium soy sauce for this recipe as it can get salty since most of the liquid for this recipe is coming from the soy sauce.
    • pineapple juice
    • lime juice
    • garlic powder
    • salt
    • sriracha: or hot sauce of your choice
    • chicken
    • optional: brown sugar

    How To Make Shredded Hawaiian Chicken in the Instant Pot

    • In your Instant Pot liner, mix together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and sriracha.
    • Add in the chicken breasts and set the Instant Pot on manual pressure cook for 6-7 minutes.
    • When done, quick release the IP, and shred the chicken breasts. Optional: when mixing the shredded chicken breasts to ensure it’s all coated, add in a tbsp of brown sugar.
    • Serve however you like.

    Recipe Variations

    • add in a knob of ginger 
    • to make it creamier, 1/2 cup coconut milk can be added to the mixture
    • soy sauce can be swapped with tamari or coconut aminos

    Tips and Notes

    • Optional: make a cornstarch slurry to make the sauce thicker if you prefer
    • I think to add an extra pinch of brown sugar at the end to sweeten up the shredded chicken a bit but it’s optional.
    • If you have time, you can marinate your chicken breasts in the liquid before cooking it together.
    • I served mine with mango chunks and avocado.
    • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled. Time should be 6 minutes per lb of chicken
    • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
    • This recipe was tested in the Instant Pot Duo Plus 9 in 1 in 6QT.
