Equipment

1 pressure cooker

Ingredients

4 medium chicken breasts boneless skinless, cut into bite size chunks
1 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp ginger fresh, minced
1.5 tbsp garlic fresh, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp Sriracha or more if you want it really spicy
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 small onion sliced or diced
1 tbsp sesame seeds optional to top
2 small green onions optional to top
2 tbsp cornstarch to thicken

Instructions

Cut chicken breasts into large bite size chunks and cut onion into chunks.
Put chicken and onions into the Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
Mix all other ingredients together (except the cornstarch) well with a fork and pour on top of chicken.
Close the lid and steam valve and set Instant Pot to manual, pressure, high, 4 minutes.
Do a quick release and carefully lift lid.
Put some of the hot sauce in a small bowl with the cornstarch and whisk together, then add back into the pot and stir.
Set Instant Pot to saute, normal and let bubble for a few minutes.
Allow to sit for a few minutes so the sauce thickens.
Serve spicy honey chicken over rice.
