Instructions
- Lightly season the chicken with pepper. Select browning/saute to preheat the pressure cooking pot. When it’s hot, add the vegetable oil and the chicken*. Saute for about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce. Lock the lid in place. Select high pressure for 3 minutes cook time.
- When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Use a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually add the slurry to the pot. Select simmer/saute and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the cashews and simmer for 2 minutes more.
- Serve over rice, if desired, and garnish with the green onions.
