HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN
Step 1: Into the bottom of the Instant Pot, place the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Place the honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk well to combine, then pour this over the chicken. Cover and seal the lid. Set the IP to Meat setting for 15 minutes or High pressure if using a non-IP. Once the time is up, do a quick release of pressure. Take the chicken from the pot, leaving the sauce behind.
Step 3: In a small bowl, dissolve 3 tbsp cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. Stir this into the sauce until incorporated. Set the IP to Saute and set to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Into bite-size pieces, slice the chicken and add them back to the pot. Toss with the sauce before serving and garnish with some sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over rice. Enjoy!
