Pressure Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken

I used the recipe for the sauce and method for breading the chicken from this source and the method from this one


Ingredients:


2 lbs Chicken Breast cut into cubes
Sea Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup of Cornstarch
2 large eggs
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup of ketchup
1/4 cup of low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup of water
1 teaspoon minced garlic

I added:

1/2 onion cut into large chunks
4-5 mini sweet peppers cut into large strips
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks.

Mix the brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, water and garlic in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, season the chicken with salt and pepper then stir in cornstarch and eggs.

Then, either in your pressure cooker on saute, or in a skillet on the stove (I used the skillet, my pressure cooker doesn't really get hot enough on saute for me.) brown the chicken in the olive oil. Do this is several batches, removing the browned chicken to a plate.

Once the chicken is browned transfer it to the pressure cooker and cover it with the sauce. Set the pressure to high and the timer to 3 minutes. When the time is up, use natural release for 10 minutes then open the pressure release valve to completely release the pressure.

Remove the chicken to a plate, switch to Saute and add the onions, peppers and pinapple and saute for 3 minutes. Add the chicken, stir, and serve over rice.
