Instructions
Step 1
Place your chicken in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken and put your Instant Pot Lid on and seal.
Step 3
Cook on the Meat setting for 20 minutes and then quick release once the 20 minutes is up. Remove chicken from pot, leave sauce.
Step 4
Dissolve 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and pour into your Instant Pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Push the Saute button and cook sauce for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Cut the chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
Step 6
You can also sprinkle more red pepper flakes on top if you want more heat.
Step 7
I removed my Honey Sesame Chicken from the Instant Pot and put in a bowl and cooked my rice in my Instant Pot.
Step 8
To make rice in your Instant Pot you need to have the same ratio rice as you do water.
Step 9
I used 2 cups of Brown Jasmine Rice.
Step 10
To make it: Rinse and drain 2 cups of rice and dump it into your Instant Pot. Add 2 cups of water. Seal your instant pot with the lid and push the Rice button. It will cook for 10 minutes then quick release. You will have PERFECT rice! Or use minute rice BUT cook separate.

I used a buttered frying pan to cook the chicken, browned the sides on a med-high heat, threw a couple chopped onions in there too. I used smaller cutlets rather than full chicken breasts. I mixed the sauce in a bowl, used 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup soy sauce. Cooked the chicken and sauce in the pan on low-med heat for about 10 minutes, covered. Cut the chicken into smaller pieces into a separate bowl, then added the cornstarch dissolved in water to the sauce in the pan, cooked on med-high heat until it was thick, then added the chicken back in. DELICIOUS!!! I made white jasmine rice and put a little butter on it. Went very well together. Maybe broccoli florets would work well in this too.
