Easy and Delicious Instant Pot Recipe: Honey Garlic Chicken

I plan to make this recipe this evening.  It’s easy and delicious.  I’ll make rice to go with it since the sauce from the chicken is 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.

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.
