Instant Pot Asian Chicken Salad

Servings 4

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 8 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine ground black pepper
  • 1 mandarin orange, peeled and divided into slices
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Ginger Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

For the Salad

  • 1 large head romaine, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In an electric pressure cooker, combine the chicken, coconut aminos, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, sea salt, black pepper, mandarin orange and green onion. 

  2. Place the lid on the pressure cooker. Make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position. Select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function and HIGH PRESSURE. Use the +/- buttons until the display reads 6 minutes.

  3. While the chicken is cooking, place all the dressing ingredients inside a wide mouth jar. Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until a smooth dressing forms. Set aside. 

  4. In a large bowl combine the romaine, cabbage, shredded carrot, almonds and green onion. When the cooker beeps to let you know it's finished, wait until the display panel reads, LO: 05. Switch the vent valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position, use caution while the steam escapes, it's hot.

  5. Transfer the chicken and juices to a food processor and pulse three times to shred the chicken breast. If you do not have a food processor you can shred the chicken into the juice by hand or use a hand mixer. 

  6. Top the salad with the chicken and lightly drizzle with the ginger dressing. Toss to combine and serve.

    Doesn’t there need to be more liquid in the pot to cook the chicken? I’m worried I’ll get the “burn” notice. Also would this work with 4 or 6 breasts? I’m thinking I’d like to make extra to have on hand in the freezer for quick dinners. Last thing…trivet or no trivet? Thank you! I’m excited to make this one!

      Hi Alice, make the recipe as written. As long as you’re using a 6 quart instant pot you’ll be fine. If you’re using a large pot, like the 8 quart that will require more liquid.

        I used 4 breasts and no additional liquid in the 8 quart with no issues.

    Is there enough liquid to bring the instant pot to pressure? I know the orange will release some as will the onions but it sure doesn’t seem like enough. I have an 8 qt so am always looking for the amounts of liquid.

      If you’re using an 8 quart pot you will need to use more liquid as it has a lot more surface area. All of my recipes are written for the 6quart. Add 1/4 cup of chicken broth and you’ll be fine. 🙂

    I would add some chicken broth. Some of the recipes in the cookbook cause my 8 qt to display “burn.” It just make a difference with the larger pot.

    This recipe is fantastic! I’m eating it for lunch right now and it’s really fresh and clean. I had 2 large breasts, so I went 7 minutes and it was perfect. Thank you for this recipe and sharing your story with us.

    Does your book give nutritional facts for each recipe?

      Hello Misty,
      I do not include the calorie count or nutritional information on any of my recipes. All ingredients have different nutritional information so it will always vary depending on the exact ingredients you’re using. If you need to track nutritional information it’s best to calculate it for each recipe with your own ingredients into a program like MyFitness Pal because it can vary A LOT.
      Wish you all the best!

I have literally been praying for someone to come into my life that could teach me or just help! I truly believe that you’re that person.

Your group has come at such a good time for me. I just want to say thanks! I might not have lost any weight (yet) but you ‘live’ in our house. Mini muffins, lentil chili, those almond strawberry cookies… When my husband tells me how delicious these new recipes are the response is always, “Britt’s recipe!” I talk about you like we just went out for coffee Hahaha. I appreciate all the work you’re putting into your website and the fb group. I feel better about myself just being a part of it.

We got back home on Monday night and first thing T We got back home on Monday night and first thing Tuesday morning Brady and I got back to it. I’ve learned over the years that not leaving trip indulgences on the trip can be a slippery slope. As soon as we come back home it’s back to our normal grind.⁣
⁣
I ate gluten and dairy-full pizza, ate an ice cream cookie bar shaped like Mickey’s face, there was even a churro in there! In the midst of that most of my meals were still pretty healthy— I ate a taco bowl, a few salads, and tried to drink plenty of water. ⁣
⁣
I’ll be tracking again for a short time as we get back on track, I always do. I’ll post workouts and my food log in stories. If you’re curious to see one of my past back-on-tracks aka BOT, visit my October BOT highlight on Instagram. ⁣
⁣
It’s never too late to start again, you’ve just got to start. I’ve gotten back on track a million times, it doesn’t mean you can’t do it, it just means you’re as human as the rest of us! ❤️⁣
⁣
Warning: my first few days BOT are always lighter food days. I’m usually still feeling a bit overfull so I’m more light snacky. A few days in it always picks back up. These are not meal plans designed for you to follow. This is just what I’m doing and I’m being brutally honest while I do it. ⁣
⁣
Also, we have zero groceries, I’m having some delivered today since we are quarantined for two weeks post trip so today’s food should be more exciting than popcorn, Lentil Flatbread BLT’s, and leftover sweet potato crackers from trip. 🤣
3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if th 3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if the weather would help alleviate Aveys JRA. ⁣
⁣
Flying had always been an extremely uncomfortable experience for me. I was always too hot and I would have to hold myself very still so I didn’t rub the people beside me. My legs would spill under the armrests onto the other seats. I was always apologizing to those next to me because the seats were just too small. ⁣
⁣
There is a part of me that feels relieved now because my current body size is accommodated. I don’t have to squeeze myself through isles or wear the seatbelt on the largest setting, but I still carry frustration that plus sizes, though making up a large number of our populace, are not accommodated and experience embarrassment and shame while flying.⁣
⁣
So while this is a very real non-scale victory for me, I feel less joy and more motivation to continue to help push for inclusivity and comfort for all sizes. ❤️

I used to think that being smaller was impossible I used to think that being smaller was impossible for me.⁣
⁣
I used to blame my size on my bones, my upbringing, my DNA.⁣
⁣
Even when I wasn’t trying to lose weight, losing weight was always something in the back of mind looming over me. Like this big thing I needed to do but hadn’t checked off my to-do list yet.⁣
⁣
Sometimes it was all I could think about. ⁣
⁣
No one wanted to date me, even though I was a super cool, mega awesome chick. All of my friends had boyfriends and I literally only had boys that were friends. ⁣
⁣
I had back issues that my doctor wrote off as weight issues but they weren’t weight issues, they were actual issues caused by severe muscle separation. But my weight was always the answer.⁣
⁣
I found a different OB after I gave birth to Avey because she told me that if I wanted to have another baby with her I needed to lose at least 80 pounds before she’d take me as a patient again.⁣
⁣
I felt like my body betrayed me. ⁣
⁣
It betrayed me with disease, with miscarriages, still birth, emergency cesareans when I had planned for natural births, rashes, uncontrollable sweating, not fitting into a single piece of clothing at Target and irregular cycles... I could go on.⁣
⁣
It sounds sad when you put it all together like that but I wasn’t sad, well, sometimes I was sad— but it wasn’t part of my character. ⁣
⁣
I spent years trying to escape myself when what I really needed to do was befriend myself. Have enough respect for her to learn how to care for her— because I really didn’t know. And then have enough patience and trust in the new behaviors I was creating to stick with them, even when I wasn’t seeing change fast enough. ⁣
⁣
When I embarked on this health journey in 2017, it wasn’t for weight loss, that was just a happy accident. ⁣
⁣
I was in heavy pursuit of befriending my long neglected body. I knew that if I could find it within myself to care for her she’d have the tools to take care of me.⁣
⁣
And that is exactly what happened.
I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment di I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment differently than dairy based yogurts and need the help of gelatin and a refrigerator to reach true yogurt consistency.⁣
⁣
I have a recipe for Coconut Milk Yogurt on the website (instantloss.com) that is absolutely fabulous but buying canned coconut milk can get pricey. For Budget I developed a recipe using Oat Milk! It’s a tangy greek yogurt style yogurt— add berries, dried fruit, coconut flakes and a little bit of honey and you have an awesome treat! OR use it to make the gluten-free Everything Bagels! ⁣
