Cheap and fast just like… oh nevermind. Try this Instant Pot Gluten Free Teriyaki Chicken and Rice for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Holy flavor, this is a new fave. The garlic and coconut aminos cooking filled the whole house with delicious aroma and I could barely let the Instant Pot depressurize before the kids were clamoring for a bowl. I think this will go in rotation quite often if I had to guess by tonight’s response.
I’ve taken most of the day off. I stayed in jams, took a bath mid-day, and shared my two cents on “cancel culture” on social media. So I guess if I’m honest, I didn’t take much of the day off since I spent it replying to private messages and comments. Read that post HERE. Comment thoughtfully if at all.
And before you let me know that you aren’t interested in my perspectives on anything but food, let me remind you that my brand IS me. And I am a whole hell of a lot more than the dishes I make. To recap:
- I am a Jewish mother of 3 children
- I am a military spouse of almost 20 years
- I am a sister to a married woman who is also a mother
- I am an ally to black and brown communities and am lucky enough to have people of color whom I consider family
- I am a vocal, justice-driven smart a$$
- I believe you are free to be who you are as long as it does not cause harm to others
- I also believe there are consequences for every conviction
- I believe if you align yourself with certain people or brands, you are only as good as the company you keep
- I will always align and realign as needed to stay on the right side of history
- This is my page and I get to make the rules
Now who’s ready for some Instant Pot chicken and rice? I’m starved.

Do you know approximately how long this cooks? I have a pressure cooker, but not an Instant Pot. I know the cooking time is some different, but having an idea wills help. I bet it’s under 10 minutes.
Looks so easy! My Ninja Foodi has you cook rice on high pressure for 2 to 3 minutes, then slow release for 10 minutes. My guess is that with the chicken will be cooked perfectly because it’s chopped into bite sized pieces! Can’t wait to try it!!
Could I make this in a regular pressure cooker? I have the Breville- it’s a pressure cooker/slow cooker/instant pot combo.
Thanks!
Yes you could! I don’t know the exact setting so I’d use the manual setting for the number of minutes recommended here.
This has become one of our families favorite meals! It’s quick, easy, and delicious! I am so thankful for not having to figure out the appropriate ratios of rice/liquids/meat. I have made it using Teriyaki flavored Coconut Aminos as I don’t have access to the Magic Mushroom Powder.
I cook it in a CrockPot Express and my rice setting is 12 minutes.

This is a great, easy meal. Much appreciated by this solo, working homeschool mom of a teen.
The second go-round I used coconut amino teriyaki sauce, and doubled the ginger!
This looks great and easy! Do you recommend chicken thighs or breasts for this? Or would either work with the rice setting? Thanks!!
Either are perfect!
Sooo good! My teenage son said “That slaps!” Don’t worry… That’s a big compliment!
