Chicken Stir Fry or Teryaki Bowls Mmmm...

This recipe turned out so so so yummy... My husband ate 3 servings and took the leftovers for lunch the next day and my son actually ate his veggies! So try it out!

(Same recipe for both until last step! Works with beef or chicken)

Grocery List -

• Chicken (10-13 tenders)
• 1 can lemon lime soda
• 1 C Soy Sauce
• 1 C Vegetable Oil

• 2 tsp horseradish

Instructions -

1. Combine all ingredients on pressure cooker and whisk
2. Once simmering add chicken and place pressure lid.
3. Pressure at full pressure for 5 min
4. While chicken in cooking, you can either cook minute rice in the microwave or use this recipe to cook rice in another pressure cooker.
5. Also once that is started warm up and cook your stir fry vegetables in pan with a little olive oil. ( I get the organic stir fry mix from fresh and easy)
6. Once all is completed then just combine and serve. You can keep it a stir fry by just adding the extra liquid from the chicken or, add Teryaki sauce to make it a Teryaki bowl! Both so yummy! Enjoy!
