Ingredients

3 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
⅓ cup Soy Sauce
2 teaspoon Garlic -minced
½ tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
2 tablespoon Olive Oil -divided
4 Chicken Breasts - boneless skinless breast.
2 teaspoon Chili Powder
⅓ cup Water
1 cup Cashews - whole roasted
1 cup Peppers -small sweet, seeds and stem removed, chipped.
1 Broccoli - florets
Seasonings as desired.

Instructions

In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and two teaspoons of the oil. Then set this bowl aside.
To cook the chicken, set your instant pot to sauté and add the remaining oil to the pot. Once the oil has heated you can stir in the chicken along with the chili powder and any desired seasonings (such as salt and pepper).
Make sure all of the chicken is coated with the oil and seasonings. Then cook the chicken until it has browned (about three minutes).
Meanwhile, add the water to the sauce that you made in the first bowl and whisk to combine. Once the chicken has browned you can add this to the chicken in the instant pot. Then close the instant pot lid and pressure valve, and then set to 'pressure cook' on high for five minutes.
When the ingredients are done, you can release pressure valve and remove lid. Carefully remove chicken from sauce and transfer it to a large bowl to let it rest and prevent it from breaking apart.
Next, add the cashews, broccoli and peppers to the instant pot and let the vegetables cook for four minutes.
When the vegetables are done cooking you can transfer them to the bowl with the chicken. Stir to combine the ingredients and serve.
