Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless/skinless)
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons (packed) brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (use low sodium if you wish)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons cold water

For serving:

  • cooked rice (I used jasmine)
  • scallions chopped, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place your chicken breasts into the Instant Pot. 
  2. Add all sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water to a bowl. Mix/whisk it together until all the sugar dissolves.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Close the Instant Pot's lid and make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. 
  4. Once the countdown has finished, do a quick pressure release. This will help keep the chicken from overcooking. Take the chicken out of the Instant Pot and place it on a cutting board.
  5. Set your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Make the cornstarch slurry by combining the cornstarch and 2 tbsp cold water. Add it to the Instant Pot. 
  6. Let the sauce thicken for a few minutes until it's thickened to your liking, and meanwhile, cut the chicken up. Add it to your Instant Pot once the sauce is thickened enough. 
  7. Serve over rice and with chopped scallions or chives.

Notes

  • Inactive time represents the time it takes the Instant Pot to get up to pressure.
  • I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.
  • I use this grater/zester for the ginger.
