When I posted my Honey Sesame Chicken Recipe<\/a> in January, Elinor, a Pressure Cooking Today email subscriber, emailed me and asked if I would post an orange chicken recipe. Since my family loves orange chicken too, I was happy to create a Pressure Cooker Orange Chicken recipe. <\/p>\n

Making Orange Chicken in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n
An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this delicious Orange Chicken!<\/div>\n

The Recipe Critic<\/a> has a popular slow cooker orange chicken that uses orange marmalade as a short cut, giving the sauce a bright orange flavor without having to reduce orange juice. I changed the recipe from a slow cooker recipe to a pressure cooker recipe and added a little chili garlic sauce to spice it up just a little bit to balance out the sweetness.<\/p>\n

Instead of rice, I served the pressure cooker orange chicken with zucchini noodles and carrot noodles.<\/h3>\n

I love to use my Spiral Vegetable Slicer<\/a>. The zucchini noodles are fun to make and fun to eat. I just quickly sauteed them in a frying pan when the orange chicken was finished cooking.<\/p>\n

I served this when my daughter and grandsons were visiting and everyone loved it. Definitely give this quick and easy chicken recipe a try. Thanks for the suggestion Elinor.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: I’ve updated the recipe with directions on cooking long grain white rice at the same time you pressure cook the chicken. I’ve also added a quick video showing you just how easy it is to make:<\/em>
