The total cook time for this recipe is 20 minutes. The Instant Pot does all of the work for you, so you can sit back and relax while your dinner is cooking.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you'll need:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

To make this honey garlic chicken in your Instant Pot, follow these instructions:

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the Instant Pot and set to SAUTE.
  2. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Remove chicken from the Instant Pot and set aside.

  4. Return chicken to the Instant Pot and cover with the sauce. Close the lid of the Instant Pot.
