Instructions

  • Add the chicken chunks, chopped red pepper, and pineapple chunks with juice straight into the crock pot.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together soy sauce, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot. Stir to combine.
  • Seal the pressure cooker lid, ensuring the sealing ring is in place and float valve up. Set to LOW pressure and cook for 20 minutes.

To thicken the sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water and stir in after cooking. Great over rice or noodles!
