Huli Huli Pressure Cooker Chicken Recipe

The Instant Pot has been a gamechanger for our family. If you're a busy family that's on the go and you also need easy dinner ideas, this is the machine for you. Essentially, instead of waiting for a slow cooker to do its thing, everything is cooked at a more rapid pace.

This Huli Huli Pressure Cooker Chicken recipe is simple and will leave your family wanting more!

And, I think you'll find that the Instant Pot is the same thing as the electric pressure cooker that your mom or grandma used to have back in the day, just a more uniform way of making recipes because when you use the Instant Pot brand pressure cookers this pressure cooker is the same as every other one, making recipes easier to follow.

This is the Instant Pot I recommend for families of 4-6 people and you may try this one if you have a larger family.

Huli huli Instant Pot Chicken gives a wonderful flavor. And, this is a great easy dinner idea, too!

We've been trying all sorts of new Instant Pot recipes and are finding that pressure cooker chicken recipes are just as awesome as beef Instant Pot recipes.

This Huli Huli Chicken recipe has the same type of taste you would get from a grilled Huli Huli Chicken recipe, the only exception is that it's the shredded chicken instead. Oh, and the obvious fact that there's no need to start the grill, let the meat marinate, and all of those things.

So, here's how I whip up this Instant Pot Hawaiaan Chicken recipe:

Huli Huli Pressure Cooker Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast; 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup pineapple chunks in pineapple juice (reserve pineapple chunks for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 T tomato paste
  • 2 t ginger; grated
  • 1 T garlic; minced
  • 1/3 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • green onions for garnish
  • pineapple for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • White Rice to serve Huli Huli Chicken on top of (to preference)


You'll want to mix the chicken and chicken broth in the Instant Pot first – afterall, that's the great thing about this machine, right?! Set the Instant Pot to High for 15 minutes, and next, you'll want to give it a quick release.
If you're wondering how to do quick release on the Instant Pot, simply flip the nozzle on the lid from sealed to venting. Be very very careful, as there will be really hot steam and liquid that comes out from this nozzle. It will burn you if you are not careful.
Next, in a bowl, mix the pineapple juice, soy sauce, tomato sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic (leaving the pineapple chunks out, you'll use those as garnish ). Whisk this mixture until well combined.
 
Set the Instant pot/pressure cooker to sauté mode and pour in the pineapple juice mixture and stir well over chicken. The sauce will thicken over chicken as it sautés, next, top the chicken with pepper.
See how yummy the chicken in the Instant Pot looks in my picture below? Delicious, I tell you!

Once the sauce is thickened around the chicken, shred the chicken like you see in the picture below. Another awesome thing about the Instant Pot is that everything is done in one pot – One pot dinners are my favorite thing ever!
Once sauce is thickened around the chicken, shred the chicken and place in bowl over rice.

Chop up those green onions, I love adding green onions to recipes, they add some really nice flavor.

Next, you'll want to drain the additional juice. I like to have that in a separate bowl so I can drizzle it over the shredded chicken and rice. Some of my family members like a more juicier chicken, and some like it less juicy – personal preference, I guess. 🙂

Once your chicken is done, shredded and the rice is cooked, you're ready to serve dinner – within the hour – a full dinner is ready, you've got to love that!
