I was looking for something easy for my second attempt at cooking in my new instant pot. This was easy and delicious! My hubby ate 2 servings. I used frozen breasts from Sam’s Club and cooked for 13 minutes. I did not have any frozen vegetables to add, but plan on buying a frozen stir fry mix to add next time because I think it will make it even better.
I have a Power Pressure Cooker XL Pro. I made this recipe as you gave it, It is delicious. I had to make only one adjustment. The saute of the sauce, following the cooking, took less time than the 20 minutes. Other than that, it worked very well.
I made this as our first meal in our Instant Pot and it was a hit! It’s hard to find a meal that my toddler and teenagers both love and everyone cleaned their plates for this chicken. Next time I will definitely make a double batch and freeze one.
I’m tired of making the same rotation of boring dinners, but my kids (10 and 5) consistently turn up their noses at the promising new recipes I try. This one was a winner!! They both asked what smelled so good before it was even finished and the 10 yr old wanted more tastes as I was cutting up the chicken. She wanted it without all the sauce so I held some back When stirring it back in. She didn’t want sauce on her rice either, but before I finished dishing up my own plate she was asking for saucy chicken and sauce on her rice too. The 5 year old did the same thing. I served it with broccoli and my husband and I mixed that into ours. SOOOO GOOD! The chicken came out perfectly cooked. Wasn’t dry or rubbery (used quick release per recipe). There was more than enough sauce for the three large breasts I used. The chicken wanted to shred, but it cut okay with a sharp enough knife and tongs to hold it together. This was a huge hit!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or as desired.
Directions:
Combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, and sriracha sauce in a bowl; mix well and set aside.
Place chicken pieces in a large bowl, add cornstarch, and toss to combine.
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)) and select the Saute function. Add oil until hot. Add 1/2 the chicken and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken. Pour chicken broth into the empty Instant Pot(R) and cook for 2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pot. Turn Instant Pot(R) off. Return chicken to the pot and pour honey mixture on top. Stir to coat with sauce.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 2 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Serve chicken sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds.
