Honey Glazed Chicken for Electric Pressure Cookers like the Instant Pot
This honey glazed chicken is made in an electric pressure cooker with just minutes of prep. Sweet and juicy, it will satisfy even picky eaters.
Servings: 5 people
Equipment
- Electric pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs Can use any boneless, skinless chicken, but I prefer the juiciness of dark meat.
- 1.5 cups onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup soy sauce Make sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce, like La Choy if you need it to be gluten-free.
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 cup honey
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 tbsp red pepper flakes I used a dash of cayenne pepper instead to reduce the heat for my kiddos.
Instructions
- Place everything in the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
- Release the pressure. I usually allow it to do a natural release, but you can do a quick release with this recipe.
- Remove the chicken and slice. In the meantime, turn on the Saute function and allow the sauce to cook to thicken, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced chicken back to the pot and stir to coat.
- Serve over rice.
Notes
For the photo, I sauteed onion and mini bell peppers separately and served them along with the honey glazed chicken over basmati rice.
Some of my kiddos do not like a lot of spice, so instead of the red pepper flakes originally called for, I substituted a tiny bit of cayenne pepper.
