PS: Due to allergies I used arrowroot flour to thicken the sauce, and it turned out great. I'm thinking that for a really quick meal, using frozen California blend vegetablea and the water chestnuts would make this super quickto throw together.

How do you thicken the sauce for Instant Pot chicken and broccoli?<\/h3>Adding the cornstarch should thicken the sauce in this Instant Pot recipe<\/a>. The Instant Pot doesn\u2019t allow steam to escape like cooking on the stovetop or in a slow cooker does, though, so it\u2019s possible the sauce may still be too thin for your liking. If the sauce hasn\u2019t reached the desired consistency, consider adding a little more cornstarch or try another way to thicken sauce<\/a>, such as adding flour or reducing the amount of liquid. \r\n

What else can you put in Instant Pot chicken and broccoli?<\/h3>Instant Pot chicken and broccoli is infinitely customizable, so have some fun and add ingredients that give it a unique twist. This recipe already has a lot of Asian flavors, but you could add ginger or another Asian sauce<\/a> such as oyster sauce or hoisin sauce. Including red pepper flakes will give the dish a delightful spice level, or add a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream to give it richness. Feel free to customize the ingredients themselves, substituting chicken thighs instead of breasts or varying the vegetables by including mushrooms, bell peppers or cauliflower.\r\n

How do you serve Instant Pot chicken and broccoli?<\/h3>We love serving Instant Pot chicken and broccoli over hot cooked rice, which soaks up the flavorful liquid as you eat. Instead of white rice, try making brown rice or wild rice, or substituting noodles instead of the rice. Have some fun with garnishes, sprinkling on sesame seeds and chopped green onions, or adding chili crisp<\/a> to each bowl.

Can you freeze Instant Pot chicken and broccoli?<\/h3>Place the chicken and vegetables in freezer containers and top with the sauce. Let cool, and then freeze. To use, partially thaw the containers in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to eat, heat each serving on high in a covered, microwave-safe dish until heated through, stirring gently. Add broth or water if necessary.
