Make this Asian carry-out favorite a quick, easy-to-make meal that the whole family will love.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scott from Houston emailed me asking for help converting one of his family’s favorite slow cooker recipe to a pressure cooker recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The chicken recipe looked like one my family and my readers would like, so I decided to share it here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Update<\/strong>: <\/em>Since I first posted this recipe, it\u2019s become one of the most popular recipes<\/a> on Pressure Cooking Today. I\u2019ve updated the post with new photos, pot-in-pot directions, and a few tips from commenters. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The designer who worked on my Instant Pot cookbook<\/a> loved this meal so much it became our cookbook cover! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n New here? See why my cookbook has over SIX HUNDRED \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 reviews<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This Honey Sesame Chicken recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a nice straightforward pressure cooker recipe<\/strong>. All you need to do is saut\u00e9 your vegetables (onion and garlic), brown the chicken, and dump in your sauce ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Honey Sesame sauce is made with pantry staples that you probably already have at home: ketchup, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and a simple slurry of cornstarch and water added at the end to thicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Set the cook time for just 3 minutes at High Pressure. After a quick pressure release, stir in your finishing ingredients and slurry and there you have it: perfectly moist chicken coated in sticky honey-sesame sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u23f2\ufe0f Note:<\/strong> It\u2019s important to bring the sauce back to a simmer after adding the slurry. That extra minute or two ensures that the cornstarch is fully cooked and that thickening agents activate to make a nice sauce for your dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The magic of an Instant Pot \/ Pressure Cooker is that you can cook fluffy white rice at the same time as Honey Sesame Chicken\u2014no stovetop required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n To cook rice in the Instant Pot while you make the chicken<\/strong>, use the white rice recipe at the bottom of our pot-in-pot post<\/a> for your ingredient ratios. Add the rice and water to a 7\u00d73-inch round cake pan or similar dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Skip saut\u00e9eing the chicken in the first step of the chicken recipe. Instead, just saut\u00e9 onion and garlic. Then add the raw diced chicken with the sauce ingredients in step 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Place a tall rack<\/a> on top of the chicken and sauteed onion and garlic in the pressure cooking pot, and use a sling to carefully place the pan holding the rice on top of the rack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the cook time ends, use a 10-minute natural pressure release rather than a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid, then remove the cake pan from the pressure cooking pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finish the Honey Sesame Chicken as described in steps 3 and 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you love replacing Chinese take-out with healthier homemade recipes, I bet you\u2019ll also devour these other quick and easy Instant Pot dishes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
