I made this recipe this evening. It was easy and delicious. I made rice to go with it since the sauce from the chicken was so good. I got the recipe from https://diethood.com/instant-pot-honey-garlic-chicken-recipe/ if you want more information.
The recipe uses sesame oil, which gives it a wonderfully rich flavor.
I have included my photos from start to finish.
This is a definite go-to recipe because of how quickly it can come together. You could serve this to guests and feel confident without question. A keeper of the first order.
