Main Ingredients

  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce adds a rich, savory touch
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced, fresh is best for punchy flavor
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with water to thicken sauce after cooking
  • 3 tablespoons water mixed with cornstarch
  • 4 cups thinly shredded cabbage bagged slaw mix works, or fresh
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion adds a nice sharp bite in your slaw
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro perks up the slaw and your tacos in general
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Instructions

  • Grab a bowl and whisk together soy sauce, honey, ketchup, hoisin sauce, and minced garlic. This sauce is the base that makes your chicken sing.
  • Toss chicken thighs into the pressure cooker pot. Pour the sauce mix over, making sure every piece of chicken gets some action. Close the lid and lock it in place.
  • Set cooker on high pressure and let it do its thing for about 15 minutes. You’ll hear the valve hiss, signaling the real cooking inside.
  • Quick release the pressure when the timer's up. Watch the float valve drop to know it's safe to open. Carefully, 'cause the steam is hot.
  • Remove the chicken while you mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir into the sauce in the pot. Close lid for a few more minutes on sauté mode until sauce thickens.
  • Slice or shred chicken, then toss back in the pot with the thickened sauce. Stir well so every bite is coated. Warm up tortillas and start taco-building.
