The Olive Bin

Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai

Add oil, chicken, garlic, soy sauce, pad thai sauce, water, and rice noodles to Instant Pot in that order, leaving noodles floating slightly above other ingredients. Set to manual and pressure cook on high for 2 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to pre-heat and then 2 minutes to cook. When complete, press cancel and do a quick release of the steam, waiting until the pressure gauge drops back down and the lid is safe to open. Add carrot matchsticks, bell peppers, and half of peanuts, tossing carefully with tongs. Place lid back on and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid and serve, then top with green onions, remaining chopped peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedge. Enjoy!
