Instant Pot Black Pepper Chicken Recipe

This Black Pepper Chicken Recipe is one of my favorite Chinese recipes to make. Plus, I really like that yes, it’s mainly a meat, but you get some veggies in your meal too.

Which is a win/win because this mama is always trying to hide a little extra nutrition in our meals;).
