Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 300 grams spaghetti noodles
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Turn on your pressure cooker and set it to 'Sauté' mode. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the pressure cooker and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 6
Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Step 7
Break the spaghetti noodles in half and layer them over the vegetables and sauce, ensuring they are submerged. Do not stir.
Step 8
Place the browned chicken pieces on top of the noodles.
Step 9
Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set the valve to 'Sealing'. Cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Once the cooking time is complete, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
Step 11
Open the lid carefully, and stir the contents gently to mix everything together. If desired, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water in a small bowl, then stir it into the pot to thicken the sauce. Use the 'Sauté' mode for an additional 2-3 minutes if thickening.
Step 12
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving if desired.
Step 13
Serve hot directly from the pressure cooker. Enjoy your Chicken with Bell Peppers Noodles!
