Ingredients

Instructions

  • Saute chicken, garlic and ginger for a few minutes in olive oil, until the chicken starts to develop a little color, using the SAUTE setting on the instant pot.
  • Add chicken broth, sesame oil and soy sauce, give the mixture a little stir, then cover with the lid and turn the valve to sealing. Cook using the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK setting on high pressure for 10 minutes. Then, turn the valve to quickly release the pressure.
  • Mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl to form a paste. Add the paste to the instant pot, and stir. Add the broccoli florets. Turn on the saute setting, and cook for a few minutes until the broccoli is tender, and the sauce has thickened.
  • If the sauce thickens and the broccoli is still not tender, turn off the instant pot, and place the lid on top. Leave it for a few minutes while the broccoli steams in the hot pot.
  • Serve the dish immediately with your favorite side dishes or toppings.
