Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pound Skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces, I used three large
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
1/4 cup Honey
1/4 cup Tamari or soy sauce if not gluten free
1 tablespoon Minced garlic, dried
1/4 teaspoon Crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
3 teaspoon Water

Steps:

Turn Instant Pot to saute. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil into pot and saute half the chicken. Get a bit of browning on all sides, about 3-4 minutes, then remove to a bowl. Add more sesame oil and saute the second half.
In a small bowl mix the honey, tamari, garlic and red pepper with a whisk.
Put chicken back into pot and add sauce. Turn chicken to cover with sauce. Turn Instant Pot to poultry and set timer for four minutes. Lock the lid in place.
Turn off the heat when the timer beeps. Carefully use a dishtowel to do a quick pressure release.
Whisk the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and turn pot to saute. Add mixture and stir well. Saute for a minute or two until sauce thickens to your taste.
