Notes
This recipe is for an Instant Pot, but you can also make it in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. If you're using a slow cooker, you'll need to cook the chicken for 4 to 6 hours on low heat. If you're using the stovetop, you'll need to simmer the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 30 to 40 minutes.
