Ingredients
- 1 ½ pound skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces, I used three large
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup tamari (or soy sauce if not gluten free)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (dried)
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to saute. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil into pot and saute half the chicken. Get a bit of browning on all sides, about 3-4 minutes, then remove to a bowl. Add more sesame oil and saute the second half.
- In a small bowl mix the honey, tamari, garlic and red pepper with a whisk.
- Put chicken back into pot and add sauce. Turn chicken to cover with sauce. Turn Instant Pot to poultry and set timer for four minutes. Lock the lid in place.
- Turn off the heat when the timer beeps. Carefully use a dishtowel to do a quick pressure release.
- Whisk the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and turn pot to saute. Add mixture and stir well. Saute for a minute or two until sauce thickens to your taste.
Notes
- Note: I made an adjustment to add the cornstarch slurry at the end to make a thicker sauce.
- If you prefer a fall apart type of chicken, I would cook longer and do a natural release.
