Add in 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, then quickly add in chicken to prevent the butter from burning. While one side is browning, season the other side with more salt + black pepper. Brown first side for 3.5 minutes, then the other side for 2 minutes. Set the chicken aside.
- Saute Onion & Garlic: Add in sliced onion, then saute for 3 minutes. Add in chopped garlic, then saute for another 30 seconds.
- Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour in ½ cup (125ml) unsalted chicken stock, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix.

- Thicken Onion Sauce: Set aside the bowl of rice, trivet, and chicken. Bring the onion sauce mixture back to a boil using the "Saute" button. Add 1 cup (200g) frozen mixed vegetables in the onion sauce to heat them up. Mix 2.5 tbsp (22.5g) cornstarch with 3 tbsp (45ml) cold water in a small mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch mixture one third at a time to thicken the onion sauce until desired thickness. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt (For Reference: we added 2 pinches of salt).
