    Instant Pot Sriracha Chicken and Mashed Potatoes

    Ok, raise your hand if some days your kitchen is bare because you didn’t have enough time to grocery shop. Twice I’ve found myself in this position and twice I’ve turned to this Instant Pot Sriracha Chicken and Mashed Potatoes because it’s easy to make and it’s pretty tasty, if I do say so myself. Twice, I’ve found myself with potatoes and chicken breasts (thanks to having a ton of potatoes in general and a recent truLocal delivery*) so this is the creation that I came up with! Please note that I do finish off the chicken under a broiler with additional sauce as a personal preference. If you choose to omit this step, the colour on your chicken may not look the same as mine.

    *If you want to try truLocal yourself, I have a referral code: TRULOCAL9491. Using that lets you add 2 free Striploin Steaks or 4 Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon Filets your first trulocal.ca box?  This is for Ontario and Alberta only.  This is not sponsored – I literally had ordered the food for myself a while back and had the chicken left in my freezer!

    What you need to make this Instant Pot Sriracha Chicken and Mashed Potatoes recipe

    Instant Pot Sriracha Chicken and Mashed Potatoes

    For the Sriracha Chicken, you’ll need

    • chicken breast
    • honey
    • soy sauce
    • sriracha sauce
    • garlic

    For the mashed potatoes, you’ll need

    • potatoes
    • salt and pepper
    • chicken broth
    • milk (optional)
    • butter (optional)

    Sooooo I don’t know if the containers I have are safe to use in the pressure cooker so here’s my “hack” on doing a pot in pot. I made a little envelope with tinfoil to hold the chicken (plus to let it marinade while I chop potatoes). I put it on top of the trivet over the potatoes and it worked perfectly!

    As for the mashed potato portion, I peeled and cut up the potatoes, added some salt and pepper, and a cup of chicken broth (or water if you’d like). Then cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. When the timer goes of, use the Quick Release valve to depressurize. Remove the chicken and if there’s still a lot of liquid, drain the potatoes, leaving just a smidgen of liquid behind.

    While the Instant Pot is working its magic, on the stovetop or in the microwave, heat the milk and butter together until hot and the butter has melted. Then add it into the potatoes when it’s done and you’re mashing. If you want to add the milk and butter in cold, that’s fine too! And if you choose to omit it entirely, it’s up to you – I’ve only made it with milk and butter.

    Lastly, once you’re ready to mash the potatoes, to make the sriracha chicken more saucy, I had brushed the leftover sauce onto the chicken breasts. Then I popped them into the oven for a 2-3 minute broil while I’m mashing the potatoes.

    Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
    Cook Time: 9 minutes mins
    Total Time: 19 minutes mins
    Servings: 2 servings

    Ingredients

    • 3 tbsp sriracha
    • 2-3 tbsp honey
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 5 cloves garlic
    • 2 chicken breast
    • 3-4 russet potatoes
    • salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup milk, optional
    • 1 tbsp butter

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, mix together your sriracha, honey, and soy sauce. 
    • In a piece of tin foil, place your chicken breasts on half and drizzle 80% of your sauce onto it and fold it up like an envelope.  Set it aside in the fridge to marinate. (Note: if you have an Instant Pot safe dish for this, feel free to use that instead)
    • Peel your russet potatoes and cut them into 1 - 1.5 inch cubes. Place them in the Instant Pot along with 1 cup of broth, salt, and pepper.
    • Place a trivet on top of the potatoes and put your packet of chicken breasts on top. 
    • Close the lid and set it to seal. Turn the Instant Pot on manual for 9 minutes. Quick release once done.
    • While the Instant Pot is working its magic, on the stovetop or in the microwave, heat the milk and butter together until hot and the butter has melted. Then add it into the potatoes when it’s done and you’re mashing. If you want to add the milk and butter in cold, that’s fine too! And if you choose to omit it entirely, it’s up to you – I’ve only made it with milk and butter.
    • Once you're ready to mash the potatoes, to make the sriracha chicken more saucy, I had brushed the leftover sauce onto the chicken breasts and popped them into the oven for a 2-3 minute broil while I’m mashing the potatoes.

      Well, you’ve just hit the sweet spot with this one — and I happen to have ALL the ingredients to get this on the table tonight. I am digging your “hack” for the chicken pouches too. That’s just brilliant — so everything gets done in one (Instant) pot. I don’t think I’d wait for a “last resort” occasion to make this tasty meal. That could be dinner every week!

      Well I LOVE potatoes….and we always have Sriracha on hand. This sounds like a winner dinner to me. You can never go wrong with a meat and potatoes dish…..spice it up and it is even better. I don’t have an Instant Pot….but I will try to adapt this to work in my regular pressure cooker. Leftovers for another dinner would be great too.

      I absolutely love that the whole dinner is made in the Instant Pot. So easy, less clean up and so much flavor! My Hubby will love the sriracha chicken. It looks so tasty!

      Sriracha chicken – YES. This is EXACTLY what my husband would love. And with mashed potatoes? It’s his perfect combo. Hooray for the instant pot!

      I see some of my favorite ingredients in that picture up top! Love sriracha, and Nature Nate’s honey is a staple in my pantry! I love that you’re able to cook the potatoes and the chicken at the same time in the Instant Pot. I haven’t explored using my IP trivet enough yet, but it looks like it really does make for a convenient meal. Can’t wait to try this!

      This sounds like such an amazing dinner. I love how easy this sounds, and the great idea of putting the chicken in the foil packet? Genius! Why have I never thought of doing this? I will have to in the future. Thanks for the great dinner inspiration!

      What’s not to simply love about this recipe?! Potatoes are always a favorite – we could make a whole meal out of them. Now, add spicy chicken to the mix and we’re in love — totally. Our one grandson loves sriracha so much he wanted a t-shirt with the name on it for his birthday. I wish I had an instant Pot but I don’t so I’ll try the recipe the old-fashioned way.

      I LOVE the two-in-one aspect of this recipe. We’ve all been in that situation with an almost-empty pantry/fridge, and this is a great recipe for that situation! I love my Instant Pot and I’ve been looking for more all-in-one meals that aren’t stews and soups. The idea of cooking the chicken on top of the potatoes like that is absolutely brilliant! This is definitely a life-saver for those days where you really need dinner but don’t have the time or resources to cook a more elaborate dish. Plus: sriracha forever!!!

      I LOVE that you cooked both of these at the same time, genius! We love chicken and potatoes so I can’t wait to use your hack for the IP so I can cut down even more on the cooking times. The sriracha chicken looks delicious!
