Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil ( could also use olive or canola)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
4 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 6 tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
Directions
- Place your chicken in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken and put your Instant Pot lid on and seal.
- Cook on the Meat setting for 20 minutes and then quick release once the 20 minutes is up. Remove the chicken from the pot, leave sauce.
- Dissolve 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and pour into your Instant Pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Push the Saute button and cook sauce for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Cut the chicken into bite size pieces, the return to pot and toss with sauce before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
- You can also sprinkle more red pepper flakes on top if you want more heat.
- I removed Honey Sesame Chicken from the Instant Pot and put in a bowl and cooked my rice in my Instant Pot.
- To make rice in your Instant Pot you need to have the same ratio rice as you do water.
- I used 2 cups of rice.
- To make it: Rinse and drain 2 cups of rice and dump into your Instant Pot. Add 2 cups of water. Seal your Instant Pot with the lid and push the Rice button. It will cook for 10 minutes then quick release. You will have perfect rice.
