Jim, a kind Pressure Cooking Today reader, recently contacted me and said he’d tried a couple of my chicken recipes using rabbit instead of chicken and they came out great. (Rabbit\u2014who knew?!) He also asked if I had a recipe for Instant Pot Chinese Lemon Chicken, because it is his wife’s favorite.<\/p>\n

Since I’m also crazy about the Lemon Chicken served at Chinese restaurants, I decided I just had to create a pressure cooker version. And I’m so glad I did\u2014it pleased even my pickiest eaters!<\/p>\n

Usually, restaurants will serve Chinese Lemon Chicken deep fried and in a sticky yellow sauce. Since I wanted a little healthier option to make at home, I skipped the deep frying and made this dish with a bright lemon flavor with just a hint of heat.<\/p>\n

I also decided not to add food coloring to my lemon sauce, so it isn’t yellow. Still, the chicken is tender and I didn’t miss the not-so-good for you fried coating.<\/p>\n
