Ingredients

  • 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

  2. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, then add them to the Instant Pot.
  3. Pour the honey sauce over the chicken, then add the chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  4. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, and set the valve to sealing. Select “manual” and set the timer for 15 minutes.

  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until combined. Pour the mixture into the Instant Pot and stir to combine.
  7. Select the “sauté” setting, and cook the mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
