Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts ready for some flavor
2 cloves garlic finely chopped or grated
1 Tablespoon lime juice brings zesty brightness
3 Tablespoons olive oil to keep the chicken moist
to taste salt and pepper
for garnish fresh cilantro chopped
½ cup peanut butter makes the sauce creamy and nutty
⅓ cup water to smooth out the peanut sauce
1 lime juiced for extra tang
¼ cup cilantro leaves for sauce flavor
2 cloves garlic for the sauce, minced
2 Tablespoons avocado or canola oil to give sauce a smooth finish
2 Tablespoons sriracha adding a little spicy kick
1 Tablespoon fish sauce with umami vibes
1 Tablespoon soy sauce for saltiness
2 teaspoons brown sugar to balance and sweeten up the sauce

Instructions

In a bowl, mix garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper for the marinade. It’s simple but packs flavor.
Drop chicken breasts in the marinade, make sure they’re coated well. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes so those flavors soak in.
Set your pressure cooker with the sealing ring on and add chicken plus a bit of marinade liquid inside. Lock the lid, watch the float valve pop up, and set to cook.
Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes. Then let it go natural release for 5, this keeps the meat tender pull ready.
While chicken’s cooking, get your grill preheated to medium-high heat.
Carefully remove chicken from cooker and place on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side till you see grill marks and chicken’s cooked through.
For the peanut sauce, toss peanut butter, water, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, oil, sriracha, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir gently over low heat till smooth and warm. Plate chicken, slather with peanut sauce, and sprinkle cilantro on top.
