INGREDIENTS
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp scallions thinly sliced
- sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
-
When oil gets hot, brown the chicken on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot–you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
-
Add onion to the pot and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
-
Add soy sauce, ketchup and red pepper flakes to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Put the chicken back into to the pot, turning once to coat.
-
Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
-
Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes.
-
When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
-
Carefully remove the meat from the pot to a cutting board and chop into bite-sized pieces.
-
Add honey and sesame oil to the pot and stir to combine.
-
In a small bowl mix together 1/4 cup of pot liquid and cornstarch. Stir into the pot until thickened.
-
Add chicken back to the pot and stir to coat. Adjust seasonings.
-
Serve hot over rice, noodles or zoodles, garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.
