- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Move the pot-in-pot dish out of the Instant Pot and set aside. Drain the broth out and discard. Stir the sauce into the chicken. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Stir together 1 Tbsp cornstarch and 1 Tbsp of water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pot until thickened. Turn off Instant Pot.
