Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken {15 Minutes}
This healthy and easy honey garlic chicken recipe can be made in an instant pot in 15 minutes. It is tender juicy and so flavorful!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken breast or chicken thighs cubed
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste. I didn’t need additional salt for this recipe because the coconut aminos is salty itself
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1/2 cup broth
- 1 tbsp arrowroot flour Addtional *
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine chicken, coconut aminos, garlic powder, honey and starch together. Cover and let it marinade.
- Marinate for at least half an hour or for best result cover and marinate over night in the fridge.
- In an instant pot, use the sautee function and heat up 2 tbsp of oil.
- Add 3 cloves of minced garlic in, stir immediately to prevent burning. Sautte 15 – 20 seconds or until lightly brown.
- Add the chicken along with all the marinade. Sear the chicken for a few minutes if possible (It might be too crowded if you are using more than 1 lb of chicken).
- Add broth and stir well.
- Seal the cap and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- Mix 1 heaping tbsp of arrowroot starch with 2 tbsp of water. Pour across the cooked chicken. Combine immediately and continue to stir until the juice thickens.
- If you want to add vegetables like broccoli and red bell pepper picture here. Precook the broccoli and add it to the chicken after the chicken is cooked.
- Serve with rice or in lettuce wrap. Enjoy!
Notes
*Mix 1 tablespoon of arrowroot starch with 2 tablespoons of filtered water to pour into the honey garlic chicken broth at the end.
This step will thicken the sauce to make it sticky.
