Description
A sweet-savory one-pot dinner that’s quick, budget-friendly, and kid-approved.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté and add the olive oil. Heat until shimmering.
- Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and brown for 1–2 minutes per side.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the seared chicken and scrape up any browned bits.
- Close the lid and set to Manual/High pressure for 10 minutes, ensuring the valve is set to “Sealing.”
- When the cook time finishes, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board. If thicker glaze is desired, switch to Sauté and simmer the sauce for 2–4 minutes.
- Slice the chicken and serve topped with green onions.
Notes
For more forgiving results, use boneless skinless chicken thighs. Swap maple syrup for honey if needed, and use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
