2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless, bite size pieces , can double recipe if you want 4 breasts
2 c barbecue sauce do not use honey style as there is too much sugar and may display burn message
1/4 c orange marmelade
1/4 c water or chicken broth
3 tbsp soy sauce optional but will make flavors more intense
1/2 onion cut into large pieces - optional
1 tbsp cornstarch at end to thicken sauce when chicken is done, optional

Cube your chicken and add to your IP along with your bbq sauce, water or chicken broth, onion if you want, and soy sauce.
Stir so chicken pieces are coated well.
Put lid on and close steam valve. Turn your Instant Pot on pressure, high, for 4 minutes.
When it beeps do a quick release and carefully lift the lid.

Put cornstarch in small bowl (if you want it a bit thicker) and add some hot bbq sauce from pot in with it and whisk together until smooth. Add back into pot and stir.
Add marmelade, stir and allow mixture to bubble for about 2 minutes, stir.
Turn off IP and serve over rice.
