Instant Pot Polynesian Pineapple Chicken
For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
I was recently sitting in my living room taking in (singing) some South Pacific. It’s really only fitting because not only do I love musicals (are you really that surprised?) but I also LOVE anything tropical/South Pacific/Polynesian/Hawaiian. I may also have a Tiki Bar obsession.
Due to the big success of my Pineapple Upside Down Cake and my love of pineapples and all things tropical, I was inspired to create a chicken dish that brought out the ultimate flavor in a sweet (but not OVERLY sweet) Polynesian-inspired sauce adorned with pineapple and peppers. The sauce in itself can be a religion.
Now we all know the Instant Pot cooks chicken like nothing else can; SO moist, tender and fall apart and that’s exactly what you’ll get in this dish – especially since we’re using thighs. And chicken dishes don’t get any easier than this one, folks. Not only will you go pineapples over it, whoever shares it with you (kids included) will clear their plates in no time.
So prepare to make something SO easy and SO outrageous, you’ll end up getting lei’d in return!

Need some white rice
Rice man! Come on! Wheres the rice? Who eats that without rice, no one….ever….
Made this tonight. So easy , filling and delicious.
I love your grownup plate 😁
Yummy delish. Why not use the juice from the pineapple to put in with your cornstarch? How about adding chopped onion and green pepper too in making your sauce? Love the way you demonstrate how to utilize the features of the instapot in making a dish. jmo
Made this tonight for supper. Big hit with the family!! Served with rice, so easy and delicious.
I tried this the other night and I have to say, That Sauce IS to die for. I could not stop eating it. Thank You Jeff for another great recipe
Why do you always quick release your chicken but natural release your beef
I was interested until I saw the processed (chemical) dressing and canned pineapples. There must be a way to make the sauce with natural ingredients I would definitely use fresh pineapples.
This is FANTASTIC! The only thing I added was an onion. Sooooo yummy!!
You threw the pineapple juice away??????????? Can't believe it… Use it for the cornstarch or how about this DRINK IT.☮️☮️☮️
Could I use pork chops as well????🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How about if I add sesame seeds to this recipe ? I didn't have thighs but did have bone-less chicken breasts (two small)…Also I added the liquid (a small amount) from the can to make the thickening…..served with rice….Recipe is a bit sweet….Joyce from Sunny Florida.
Hi, How do you adjust the recipe using chicken breast?
Added a purple onion, cooked the chicken for 13 minutes and it was perfect. This was a very messy spewing release though, be ready! (I have found that I need to add minutes to many recipes. Is this due to my pot? Elevation where I live?) This is a delicious dish!!!!
This would be crazy good over some basmati rice.
Jeffrey—Made this tonight and WOW! Very easy and pretty damn tasty to boot. I used breasts cuz no thighs at the store…lol and I added some green pepper and onions as well. Next time I will add some sliced carrot too. Cooking time was spot on with my 3qt mini.
Great method of cooking and recipe, but what about serving this over rice? That would be soooo good . Thanks again for another recipe and best wishes to you at your new home. Joyce in Sunny Florida.
Made this today and we loved it. The only change I made was trimming a little of the fat away and lightly browning it before pressure cooking. Will definitely do it again.
Yumyyyy it take me to puerto rico Mmmmmmm looks great
looks good might add pineapple juice in at the beginning
I'm loving this recipe.. I will definitely be making & looking forward to getting laid!… Lol… Punn intended.. ha! I also think it would be tasty with some mango in it.. whata ya think? YuM:-)
I've had this before.but they dint make it in a pressure cooker. Although they do have one of the stove top ones. It's never used though lol . They wouldn't tell me how they made there dang sauce .I'll bet that's it .it was yummy to .looks good Jeff I'll have to try it .ty
Ok, I just found my dinner recipe for tomorrow night! Going to pour it over some rice!
I bet this would be great for pork chops or a pork loin too.
A definite must try I love your videos, great job, I love my instant pot… all I can say is that there is the time before an insta pot and now the time after in insta pot… amazing…
Totally insane how easy!!
"you're gonna end up getting lei'd"….LOL
I made this tonight…and it was so tasty. I had chicken breast out and used that. I totally think thighs would be spot on.
Cooked a little less and it came out great. I love your recipes and share you page constantly. Thanks for posting another fabulous recipe. Hugs!
Love this recipe. I am going to try it. Your cooking vids are amazing. You have taught me a lot abut pressure cooking. Keep them coming!
It is AMAZING!!!!!!!>>>ur2.pl/1035 It is as GREAT as "Eric" in the TV Infomercial/YouTube Video said it is! I love it!!!!! I purchased one for myself and one for my sister and she loves her Power Pressure Cooker XL as much as I love mine. Easy to use with step by step instructions. Cooks the food fast as promised with the flavor of hours of preparation and cooking. Eric, from the TV Infomercial and YouTube Videos, is an Excellent Instructor for this product. The Power Pressure Cooker XL also comes with very easy to follow instructions.
I'm new to Instant Pot cooking. Tried this tonight for supper – super easy and delicious. I added some chopped onion, minced ginger and used the pineapple juice to thicken the sauce. Will definitely be making this recipe again.
We have a fantastic Chinese restaurant here in Fort Lauderdale called Lotus. They make the most delicious pineapple chicken. It is always on our list of take out from there. Tonight I made this Instant Pot recipe over brown rice. I must say without a doubt it seriously rivals Lotus. I debone and deskin the thighs myself saving about half the cost of the thighs. I used Wishbone Sweet & Spicy French dressing and instead of 3 T. of water for the slurry I used the pineapple juice from the can. I did not want to waste the rest of the juice so I poured what was left in the can in the pot. It did not affect the thickness of the sauce at all. I also used the canned Publix tidbits which are equal to the Dole chunks cut in half, so I had twice as many pieces of pineapple (not crushed but tidbits). Now I don't have to pay for pineapple chicken take out from Lotus. Thank you Jeffrey! Tom
