Place the lid on the instant pot and turn the valve to the sealed position. Press pressure cook or manual button and set timer to 20 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting and beeps release the pressure. Drain the juice from the instant pot.

Meanwhile, wash all the vegetables. Then, dice the sweet peppers into small pieces. Trim the broccoli florets if needed.

Add in broccoli, sweet peppers, and sugar snap peas. Turn your Instant Pot onto sauté mode. Place lid on the pot and steam for five minutes.

 

While that’s cooking, mix together peanut butter, the remaining coco aminos or soy sauce, garlic, chili sauce, and ginger.

Whisk very well and then pour over the chicken and vegetables. Mix together well so the meat and vegetables are well coated.

Once the vegetables are to your preference of tenderness, turn off pot and serve with rice and topped with sesame seeds.
