Equipment

1 pressure cooker with sealing ring and float valve

Ingredients

Main ingredients

1 cup pineapple juice
6 tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons BBQ sauce
1.5 to 2 pounds boneless chicken tenders

Instructions

In a medium bowl, stir together pineapple juice, brown sugar, and BBQ sauce until sugar is fully dissolved.
Place chicken tenders in the pressure cooker and pour sauce mixture over them to coat evenly.
Ensure sealing ring is clean and properly set. Lock the lid and set pressure cooker to high pressure for 8–10 minutes.
After cooking, allow a natural release for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a slow release to release remaining pressure.
Open lid carefully, stir ingredients. If sauce is too thin, use sauté mode to reduce and thicken.
Serve hot with your favorite sides such as rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

Make sure your sealing ring is clean and undamaged for proper pressure. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 4 days or frozen up to 3 months. Reheat gently.
