Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breast, boneless, skinless, about 3 medium breasts
  • ½ cup honey
  • cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion, dried
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic, about 3 cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, heaping
  • 2 tablespoons water

  • Place chicken in bottom of instant pot and season with a little salt and black pepper, if desired.
  • 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 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.
  • Dice chicken into bite size pieces and place in serving bowl. Pour sauce over chicken and give it a gentle mix. Or you can add chicken right back into the pot and serve out of that.
