Honey Garlic Instant Pot Chicken Breasts

It is ok as is - a bit too sweet. I would have added less honey, more soy sauce, and more garlic. Probably would also use thighs as they are juicier.

This was so easy to throw together and cook! I didn’t have red pepper flakes on hand, so I used cayenne pepper instead for a little heat, and it turned out so good. Definitely will be making this again!

Family approved meal, will make again slow cooked as I found the instant pot made it tough. Added zucchini, frozen broccoli, and orange peppers to the sauce and it was delicious. Had to double the cornstarch mixture. Might double the sauce as well next time, or else put the cut chicken back in and mix up.

We do not have an instant pot. We cooked in a pan. We added all the ingredients to a pan at medium heat. Sturred until melted and combined. Added chicken amd cooked about 5mins each side while covered.

Added broccoli florets and chopped red peppers for color.

I love this recipe! It is so easy and versatile. Change the rice type, or change up the spices, or change up the side Veggies. It's always good and easy and fast! And I also love my InstaPot! Lol

It is the quickest dinner I have prepared. I put it in the slow cook in the morning and it was ready after work. Go to!

I added ginger and miso, with a bit of sesame oil and brown sugar. I switched out white pepper instead of black. I also tried to cook the rice with it and it got WAY too watery- but that's on me! Otherwise, pretty decent! I see why people say it isn't thick though.

I added some chili powder to give some more spice: it was yummy!

I doubled the sauce and added ginger and some Hoisin. It definitely needed some salt as well. Was very tasty!

I added chili flakes and some ginger. Didn't have low sodium soy sauce so I used less. It was great.

I thought it had a good flavor. Sauce didn't thicken up much. Next time, double the sauce.

7/10. I thought it was fine but somehow was missing something? Not sure if I’d make again.

Chicken was nice and moist, but the sauce was bland. Even with using chicken broth. It seems to be missing something. I will make it again and try to figure it out.

The corn starch is likely 2 tbsp + 2 tbsp water.

It was good except for two things. One, I did not have fresh garlic so I used garlic powder. It worked but really affected the flavor. Two, I didn't really believe the instapot would cook those thick chicken breasts in ten minutes. So I ran them for twenty. I am a believer now. Will try again next week. Despite these obstacles, the chicken was still very good and even better with the roasted carrots and mashed potatoes I made to go with it.

Can just follow cook temperature and times and use different seasonings!

Took the advice of other reviews and added some fresh ginger (1 tsp) and red chili flakes (2 tsp-ish). It was delicious! Note to new instant pot owners - don't use the instant pot lid when sautéing. I paired with sweet potato (air-fryed) and broccoli (steamed).

I tripled the recipe because that’s how much chicken I had. When I do this again I will put in a little less soy sauce and a little more honey.

Added ginger to the sauce, really made it pop.

The sauce is tasty but the chicken breast was dry. I used large frozen chicken breasts and added 3 mins to the cooking time (11 + 3 = 14) and that was too long. I think if I make again using frozen, I will only add 1 extra minute.

It misses the mark on flavor. I may try it again adding red pepper flakes as others suggest but it's for sure missing something.

Bland and did not cook chicken correctly. Ended up slow cooling to cook chicken more, but then overcooked it smh. Flavor was still bland even if the chicken cooking was my fault.

10/10 would recommend! My 6 year old had second’s and we loved it as well.

Really nice, really sweet would pour less sauce on my plate next time and maybe thicken it to see the difference.

I skipped the cornstarch. Didn't feel like it needed it.

Absolutely amazing! Definitely one of my favorites ever. I added some bullion to my water since I didn’t have broth, definitely recommend, it’s so good tasting, and good when you are on a budget.

Added broccoli steamed alone with just pepper and with the chicken used normal soy sauce, the chicken could use more garlic and crushed red pepper flakes it would've changed this a lot for us we like some spice. Super honeyish flavor and sweet nothing else came through really, could be the extra sodium from the soy sauce? The broccoli helped break it up some though.

Yum! Doubled the sauce and chopped the chicken into bite-sized pieces after cooking. Served with white rice and oven-roasted green beans.

So I didn't do the last step with the corn starch because I was just too tired and lazy BUT the chicken was really goodt! I used chicken broth instead of water and onion powder instead of cloves. We also had cheddar and broccoli rice and lima beans with biscuits.

I used Penzey Black/Red instead of black pepper, doubled to 1/2t. It was a perfect blend of sweet heat.

Was too sweet and could be better with some spice

The pressure cooker is my best tool for making rice, so I instead pan seared the chicken in a hot cast iron pan briefly, added the sauce, covered and cooked for 10 minutes. Also double the sauce like other cooks. Cut the black pepper and added red pepper flakes. Delicious.

Simple and delicious! Added some ginger paste and sesame oil, and shredded the chicken before adding back to the sauce!

Mix liquids in a separate bowl before putting in the instapot to prevent struggling with blending in the honey.

Paired with steamed green beans and white rice.

I made this for the very first time. I doubled the sauce as others had suggested. Worked out great!!

This was yummy and better than ordering Chinese in my opinion. I will probably double the sauce part if you like having extra to put on top of rice.

I had some frozen Kroger chicken and needed a quick kid friendly meal. I didn't have any rice, but I found some stroganoff noodles in the cabinet and made some green beans, too. Everyone is happy from mom to the baby and even the teenager with Autism!
