  • Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  • Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes.
  • When the time is up, quick-release the pressure.
  • Remove the chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot.
  • Carefully remove 1/4 cup of the liquid from the pot and combine with the cornstarch. Stir into the pot until thickened.
  • Serve warm over rice, garnished with chopped cilantro or basil.
