Teriyaki Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipe (Low Carb)
With the use of an instant pot, your entire family can enjoy the succulent taste of a homemade teriyaki chicken meal that’s made with nutritious ingredients like apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in just 30 minutes. If you’re feeling a little bit adventurous, feel free to mix in a little bit of white wine as well for a real treat. I love this over cauliflower rice, but you could easily have this with other side dishes as well. This is a great way to treat yourself to Asian-style cuisine from the comfort of your own home.
