Trader Joes Soyaki Teriyaki Chicken Recipe Dump Meal is why I love the Instant Pot. This Trader Joes Soyaki-Teriyaki Chicken Recipe is healthy and quick recipe in the pressure cooker. Great for a quick lunch or a weeknight meal for the whole family. This Trader Joes Soyaki Recipe can be made with the Trader Joes Island Soyaki sauce as well. They are essentially the same exept one has pineapple and is a little sweeter in my opinion. I used the regular Trader Joes Soyaki in this recipe.
Dump Meals for Crock Pot and Instant Pot.
If you don’t know what a dump meal is for the Crock Pot or Instant Pot it is where you put all the ingredients in the Crock-Pot or Instant Pot at one time and set it and forget it. I love this kind of recipes for the Instant Pot because it is a basic set it and forget it recipe.
Simple Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken
This simple Instant Pot Teriyaki style chicken requires just a few ingredients. I actually even put the chicken in the Instant Pot FROZEN directly from the freezer. I am always buying bags of frozen chicken to keep around and they are great just for this reason. This recipe is also great for people that do meal prep. In this recipe, I use a sauce that I buy at Trader Joes called Island Soyaki. It is pretty much a blend of soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and some ginger. You can pretty much use any sauce like that that you prefer. Standard bottle teriyaki sauce would work as well. Really that and a little bit of water and all your ingredients right in the Instant Pot and you are ready to rock. When the chicken is done cooking the only other step is to remove the chicken and reduce the sauce to thicken it and then it’s time to eat.
Can this Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken Recipe be Made in Crock Pot?
Yes, of course, it can. For this recipe to be made in a crock-pot the cooking time would be 8 HOURS on Low or 4 HOURS on High setting. When cooking time is complete mix together a cornstarch slurry of 1 Tablespoon of Cornstarch and 3 Tablespoons water and stir into crock-pot mixture. Let cook an additional 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

For my first Instant Pot recipe attempt this was a definite confidence booster! It was quick, easy and tasted delicious. I also appreciated the tip on the substitution of the Soyaki as the brand recommended is not available in Australia.
You are very welcome. I am glad that your attempt was a success. Thanks for the nice complement.
