  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper
  • ½ cup honey
  • cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion, dried
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, heaping
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 6 cups cooked brown rice, for serving

  • Place chicken in bottom of instant pot and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some pepper.
  • Pour sauce over chicken.
  • Place lid on pot and set valve to sealing.
  • Set cooker to high pressure for 6 minutes. Naturally release pressure for 10 minutes and then do a quick release.
  • Once the pin has dropped, remove lid. Remove chicken and set aside on a cutting board.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch and cool water to create a slurry.
  • Set instant pot to sauté mode and slowly drizzle the slurry into the sauce while whisking. Bring the sauce to a bubble and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened, then turn off the instant pot.

  • Serve chicken over cooked brown or white rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
