Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken and Vegetables

Looking for an easy, dump and go, one pot meal? Here is your winner! This Instant Pot honey garlic chicken and vegetables has a lot of savory and sweet flavor. (I was worried it would be too sweet but it wasn’t!) With a bit up chopping up front you can then throw everything into the pot, walk away and come back to a dinner that will be waiting for you.

A few notes:

Chicken: I love boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe because they stay moist and tender. If you’re not a fan and want to use chicken breasts you can. Make sure to cut the chicken across the grain so that the chicken can be as tender as possible. Slice across the grain. Then cut each of those wider strips crosswise into bite size cubes. All muscle has a grain to it. The placement of your knife to this grain will determine the length of the muscle fibers in an individual slice of meat, which in turn will have a profound effect on how tender or tough that meat is.

How can the chicken and vegetables cook in 2 minutes?

  • Chicken and veggies are cut into small bite-size pieces so they cook quickly
  • Food is cooking the entire time the pot is coming to pressure and even while the pressure is releasing.

Can I use frozen chicken?

This recipe relies on chicken cubes cooking for only a 2 minute pressure cooking time so that the vegetables don’t overcook. So whole frozen chicken breasts or thighs won’t work in this recipe. If you have frozen cubes of chicken that will probably work okay.

Can I use fresh green beans? I used a bag of frozen green beans because that is what I had on hand. Fresh green beans would work just fine!

What kind of potatoes? I used yellow potatoes. You can also use red or Russets. Russets will be a bit firmer and the yellow and reds will me softer.

Why low sodium soy sauce? Regular soy sauce gets too salty so use low sodium if possible!

    I don’t have low sodium soy sauce could I use red or white cooking wine instead?

      I would use regular soy sauce and only use 1/4 cup of it

    A simple and delicious meal prepared very quickly. With the low sodium soy sauce and no added salt I was pleasantly surprised no one was asking for a salt shaker – it’s seasoned just right. Thank-you for sharing this recipe.

    Could I do this as a dump and go freezer meal (without the potatoes, of course)?
    If I did, how long would you recommend cooking this from frozen?

      I may just keep the cooking time the same. Break up the chicken and put it on for another 1 minute pressure cook time. I think if it’s frozen all the chicken will freeze together in a big clump.

    I have a huge bag (Costco) of frozen broccoli florets – would they work instead of the green beans? Thank you.

      They’ll get plenty soft but if you’re okay with that you could use them. Another choice is to steam them separately and add in after food has pressure cooked.

    What if you increased the chicken thighs to six and used a pound and a half potatoes? How long to cook then?

      Yes that would be fine. Keep the same cooking time.

    Would you change anything if using boneless skinless chicken breast.

      Keep same cooking time…from post above, “I love boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe because they stay moist and tender.

    We don’t need any more liquid? This looks good, but I don’t want a “burn” ☺ I have an 8qt.

      You may want to add 1/2 cup broth for the 8 quart. The chicken puts off a lot of liquid so even without that it should come to pressure.

    What about leaving out the potatoes and serving over rice as a Chinese stirfry. Should the seasonings be adjusted? Seems like a lot of honey.

      Sure you could totally do that. It makes a lot of sauce in the end.
