We love this easy Instant Pot Hawaiian Chicken recipe. If you’ve never had Hawaiian chicken you’re in for a treat. Not only is this one of my favorite and easy instant pot recipes, but it is super delicious and packed full of flavor. With only THREE ingredients, this is a mealtime favorite.

The Hawaiian Chicken Recipe

I love easy weeknight meals, and this is easy with a capital E. It only takes a few minutes to prep and make.

It’s perfect for someone like me who comes home from a long day at work and wants to whip up something fast. It’s also fairly easy to throw into the slow cooker and cook all day, but I like the Instant Pot method for this recipe.

What Ingredients Do I Need to Make Hawaiian Chicken in the Instant Pot?

This Hawaiian Chicken recipe is very easy to make. You only need a few ingredients and about 30 minutes.

Here is what you will need for this dish:

  • chicken breasts
  • barbecue sauce
  • pineapple tidbits (drained)

Instant Pot Hawaiian Chicken Ingredients

How do I make Hawaiian Chicken?

Making Hawaiian Chicken is fairly easy and a perfect beginner recipe for the Instant Pot.

First, place your trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot and add about a cup of water (depending on the size of the Instant Pot) and a tablespoon of the pineapple juice. Next, mix together your Dole pineapple tidbits and the barbecue sauce.

Make sure the lid is securely sealed and then place the Instant Pot on manual mode and cook with High pressure for about 13 minutes. Don’t forget to place the steam valve over to “sealing”. When time is up, hit cancel and allow 5-10 minutes to naturally release pressure.

You can serve Hawaiian chicken in several different ways. My personal favorite is over a bed of brown rice, but you can serve in other ways as well:

  •  a bed of brown rice
  • with grilled vegetables
  • over mashed potatoes
  • over caulirice
