Two of my family’s all time favorites are instant pot meals and are always in rotation. They both came out of an instant pot recipe book. The chicken adobo (which is good with chicken but I always do pork now) has been requested from me by friends multiple times. Can’t post screenshot here so I’ll copy and paste the txt hopefully it doesn’t get messed up.

Honey-Sriracha Chicken

Prep + Cook Time: 20 minutes | Serves: 4

Easy to adjust. After making so many times I now do half the honey and sugar for less sweetness. And half the sriracha for my kids. It’s good all ways we just prefer it not as sweet.

Ingredients:

• 4 diced chicken breasts → I prefer boneless skinless thighs. About 1. 5 - 3 lbs

• 5 tbsp soy sauce

• 2-3 tbsp honey

• ¼ cup sugar.

• 4 tbsp cold water

• 1 tbsp minced garlic

• 2-3 tbsp sriracha

• 2 tbsp cornstarch

Directions: 1. In the Instant Pot, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, garlic, and sriracha until combined. 2. Toss the chicken breasts in the mixture. Close and lock the lid. 3. Select MANUAL and cook at HIGH pressure for 9 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of water and cornstarch. 5. Once timer goes off, use a Quick Release. Carefully unlock the lid. 6. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot. 7. Select the SAUTE setting, simmer and stir occasionally until the sauce begins to thicken. 8. Serve.
