Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon hot chili sesame oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon grated orange zest

- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup chicken broth, warmed

Instructions
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat sesame oil in the pot and add onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add broccoli, garlic, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, ginger, and orange zest. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in orange juice, tamari, chili sauce, and honey. Stir in chicken. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk cornstarch with chicken broth until dissolved.
- Pull chicken and vegetables out of the sauce using a large slotted spoon. Place pressure cooker back on Saute mode. Cook until sauce starts bubbling; add cornstarch mixture. Let sit for 1 minute, stir, and turn pressure cooker off.
- Stir aji mirin into the sauce. Add chicken and vegetables back in.
- Use any cuts of chicken you prefer.
