Where does the pineapple come into play cause they don’t make apricot pineapple jam
Hi siobhan kathleen marie gregory,
The pineapple adds sweetness to the chicken.
I couldn’t find apricot pineapple jam so I substituted apricot raspberry jam and added chopped up fresh pineapple. It was delicious and my husband said I could make it again!
How much of the jam and soy sauce shoud I add unless Im missing something it not describe in detail.
If i double the recipe do i double the water?
Heavenly! Love this recipe!
Made this today followed all the directions and ingredients it was so bland i shredded it and added bbq sauce turned into delicious pulled chicken
The recipes say to remove the skin and fat from the chicken but the photo shows the skin on.
Had apricot preserve and a can of chunky pineapple. Worked and tasted amazing!
Used boneless/skinless chicken thighs; browned three and did not brown the rest. Too much of a mess. Doubled the recipe because we gave 6 people to feed. I could only find peach mango chutney (apricot jams had high fructose corn syrup). Added a can of pineapple chunks. Served with hot white rice. It was good. Not sure if I’ll make it again. Using the sauté function to reduce the sauce took 20 minutes. I didn’t add extra nor double the water amount, so I don’t know why it took so long to reduce the sauce.
Prefer cutting chicken into bite-size pieces for better coating of sauce. We made extra sauce.

Nice, thank you. I use the silicone trivet with heat-resistant handles and it’s so much better than the metal trivet that came with the instant pot. I got it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/35LvU9n

Loved it used smuckers apricot preserve and pineapple preserves.
It was easy to make, and tasted pretty good. The chicken thighs cook down a lot & fell apart when removing. Would definetly double chicken next time. You must need to saute sauce longer then 5 minutes as recipe calls because my sauce was pure liquid. If I make this again, I will add a little cornmeal to make sauce thicker.
I just got an 8-quart Instapot. How do I adjust this and other recipes to make sure I have enough liquid?
Pictute shows skin on, Which I love! Hard to have crispy skin using pressure cooker.
