Honey Garlic Shredded Chicken

Hey Everybody!

Today’s recipe is one for honey garlic chicken. I love this recipe because it is tastes so good and it’s fairly easy to make. I got the idea for this recipe partially from Pinterest but have altered it over time to make it healthier. This is another recipe for the Instant Pot.

This recipe generally takes only about 30 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

1 lb. Chicken Breast (thawed)

½ Cup Honey

2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce

3 tsp. Brown Sugar

1 tsp. Onion Powder

¼ Cup Ketchup

2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil

4 Minced Garlic Cloves

3 tsp. Cornstarch

¼ Cup Water

Additional: Jasmine Rice and Broccoli

Instructions

1. Set you raw chicken breasts in the bottom of your Instant Pot and season with salt and pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, ketchup, vegetable oil, and garlic cloves. Mix well and pour over the chicken.
3. Put your Instant Pot lid on and set your Instant Pot to the Meat Setting on High Pressure for 15 minutes.
4. While your chicken is cooking, start your jasmine rice and steam your broccoli.
5. Mix your water and cornstarch together.
6. Once the 15 minutes is up, quick release. Remove your chicken from the Instant Pot and shred it.
7. Add your cornstarch and water mixture to your Instant Pot and change the setting to Sauté. Mix until slightly thickened. (About 3-5 Minutes)
8. Return your chicken to the Instant Pot and mix with the sauce. Serve with rice and broccoli.

I have learned a few tips while making this recipe that I would love to share with you. Shred the chicken with your KitchenAid if you have one, it’ll make your life so much easier. If you have someone to help you, one should shred the chicken, while the other is mixing the sauce. Don’t use frozen chicken, it won’t taste nearly as good and may even burn (speaking from experience). If you like a lot of sauce or want to put it on your broccoli you can double all of the sauce ingredients.
