Instant Pot Mongolian Chicken takes just five minutes to throw into the Instant Pot pressure cooker and 30 minutes to cook a flavorful, tender and juicy mongolian chicken. I love this Instant Pot Mongolian Chicken so much and it is cooked in less than 30 minutes.
It is much more healthy than chinese takeout and you dont have to drive anywhere and it will save you money as well. The chicken comes out tender and juicy with a sweet savory flavor that you and your family will love. This is a great recipe for busy people that are trying to eat healthy and are short on time. It will take you less than 10 minutes to prepare this dish.
Sweet and savory chicken that is tender and juicy with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil. What not to love? It is as good as it looks and is super easy to make. Every since i got an Instant Pot i have not gotten chinese takeout since. You can also subsitute beef in this recipe. This dish is delicious served over white rice.
This recipe can also be made in your slow cooker or crock pot. Just throw everything in EXCEPT the cornstarch slurry and cook for 3 HOURS ON HIGH or 6 HOURS on LOW. When the cooking is complete stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 20 minutes more.
I really hope you enjoy this recipe and leave me a rating and a comment of how you like it.
