Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (roughly 2 large chicken breasts; see note 1)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup chicken stock (or water)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers)
  • 1 chipotle pepper (left whole; see note 2)
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instruction

  • Combine ingredients- In the stainless steel insert of your Instant Pot, stir together the honey, stock, salt, garlic, lime juice, adobo sauce and chipotle pepper. Add your chicken breasts, and turn to coat in the sauce.
  • Cook- Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set the steam release handle to the 'sealing' position. Pressure cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. When the Instant Pot completes its cooking cycle, perform a quick pressure release: carefully turn the steam release handle to the 'venting' position.
  • Thicken- Remove the lid from your Instant Pot, and transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest (check it has reached 165°F before removing). Select the 'sauté' function of the pot, and stir together a slurry of cornstarch with water. Add the slurry to the pot, and stir with a spatula.Simmer the sauce for 1-2 minutes, until bubbly and thickened. Use oven mitts to remove the stainless steel insert from the Instant Pot so the sauce doesn't over-reduce. Remove chipotle pepper before serving.
  • Toss chicken with sauce- Once the chicken has rested for 5 minutes, slice it against the grain into strips or cubes. Return it to the pot and toss in the sauce. Enjoy!
