Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup water
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sliced green onions, or to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk honey, soy sauce, water, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Adjust for medium heat and add sesame oil. Cook chicken in batches in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Return all chicken to the pot and stir in honey-soy mixture. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 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.
  • Mix together cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth; stir into the pot. Select Saute function, adjust for low heat, and bring to a simmer. Stir constantly until sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
