Instant Pot Spicy Pineapple Chicken
Overview
Last week I was looking in the fridge and found pineapple juice and jalapeños.
And from there, Instant Pot Spicy Pineapple Chicken was born. It’s spicy (but manageable), it’s sweet (but not too sweet), and goes REALLY REALLY well with the Sesame Soy Guacamole!
