# Gluten Free Instant Pot Orange Chicken Recipe *By James Hills — Updated August 2017*  One of my favorite items to order for Chinese takeout is Orange Chicken. Unfortunately, like anyone with dietary restrictions and those simply trying to eat more healthfully, that's usually not a good choice. However, with a bit of inspiration and some tweaking I've come up with a solution that is super quick and easy to make as well as relatively healthy  for you. Plus, it's gluten free so my wife can enjoy it too! This recipe was inspired by a couple other Orange Chicken Recipes out there including [The Recipe Critic](https://therecipecritic.com/2012/10/slow-cooker-orange-chicken/) and [Pressure Cooking Today](https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-orange-chicken/). However, my goal was to make it a bit less sweet and a bit more healthy, while still being extraordinarily fast to cook and easy to clean up afterwards. This is the sort of recipe that you can use to impress your wife when you come home and give her a chance to relax for a few minutes, while you take care of dinner. ## Gluten Free Instant Pot Orange Chicken Recipe: Personally, I love [Smucker's Natural](https://www.smuckers.com/products/fruit-spreads/natural-fruit-spreads/natural-orange-marmalade-fruit-spread) brand since it is made with ingredients from natural sources and avoids GMO products. While you can use any orange marmalade in this orange chicken recipe, I personally like the fact that the orange flavor comes through well here without being too sweet. ### 8 Things Great Steakhouses Do That Even Master Grillers Can't Match at Home ManTripping: Men's Travel and Lifestyle Blog for busy men who love to travel.

Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. When cooking is complete, do a quick pressure release. Once you are able to take the lid off, switch to saute mode. In a separate bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of water and 3 tablespoons of corn starch and add it along with your Smuckers Natural Orange Marmalade and add it to the pot, then mix it in.  Serve over cooked rice.
