Instructions

  • Mix the tapioca starch, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Coat the chicken pieces evenly with this mixture.
  • Heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides for about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons of avocado mayo with honey and sweet chili sauce in a bowl, adding hot sauce if desired for more heat.
  • Transfer the browned chicken to the sauce and toss until each piece is well coated.
  • Transfer the chicken and sauce into your pressure cooker pot with the carrots and cabbage. Sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
  • Lock the lid in place and cook under high pressure for about 4 minutes. Allow a natural release for 5-7 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure.
  • Serve over jasmine rice with sliced cucumbers, green onions, and black sesame seeds as garnish if desired.

Notes

For extra crunch, use fresh veggies. Adjust the level of heat with more or less hot sauce. Serve immediately for best texture.
