Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless/skinless
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce use low sodium if you wish
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch plus 1/4 cup cold water to thicken sauce
- to taste cooked rice
- to taste scallions chopped
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in your Instant Pot.
- In a bowl, whisk the ketchup, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and water until smooth. Pour over the chicken.
- Close the lid and set the valve on 'sealing'. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once the countdown has finished, do a quick pressure release. This ensures the chicken won't overcook.
- Take the chicken out and place it on a cutting board.
- Press the 'sauté' button on your Instant Pot. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch + 1/4 cup cold water. Add it to your Instant Pot and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened up a bit.
- Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Add it back into the Instant Pot when the sauce has thickened enough.
- Serve over rice and with chopped scallions if you wish.
Notes
- Tip 1: Inactive time indicates the time it takes for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure.
- Tip 2: Serves 4-6 people depending on how much people eat.
- Tip 3: I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.
