Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Sauté the Chicken: Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and heat the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add Aromatics: Once browned, add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pressure Cook: Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce; scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Seal the lid and set to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow for a natural release for 5 minutes before performing a quick release for any remaining steam.
