I love Asian food and wanted a chili-style soup with flavors of General Tso. You can use any meat you like—I used leftover pork, but it’s great with turkey, chicken or ground meats. —Lori McLain, Denton, Texas

Ingredients

1 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup pickled cherry peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1-1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

In a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker, combine the first 7 ingredients. Top with chicken, onion and broccoli. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 6 minutes. Quick-release pressure. A thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 165°.
Remove chicken; shred with 2 forks. Return to pressure cooker; heat through. Top with green onions and sesame seeds to serve. Freeze option: Freeze cooled stew in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.

I haven't been more disappointed in a recipe in a long time. Stew? It was soup. Way too much liquid. No flavor. I thought something was wrong when instructions had cooking broccoli and onions for 6 min. Instant pot recommends 0 min on high pressure. I can't even suggest how to make this edible.

Really good and fast recipe to make when you are running short on time. I did everything the recipe called for except I used roasted red peppers instead of the pickled cherry peppers and I cut the chicken into slices.
