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
- Set you raw chicken breasts in the bottom of your Instant Pot and season with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- Put your Instant Pot lid on and set your Instant Pot to the Meat Setting on High Pressure for 15 minutes.
- While your chicken is cooking, start your jasmine rice and steam your broccoli.
- Mix your water and cornstarch together.
- Once the 15 minutes is up, quick release. Remove your chicken from the Instant Pot and shred it.
- Add your cornstarch and water mixture to your Instant Pot and change the setting to Sauté. Mix until slightly thickened. (About 3-5 Minutes)
- 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.
I really enjoy this recipe and I hope you do too. Let me know what you think about this recipe in the comments below. If you love this please subscribe as well!

Incredible Instant Pot
Hey Everyone!
Today I am talking about one of my favorite presents I have ever gotten, my Instant Pot. Shane got it for me for Christmas but since we knew around that time that we would be moving soon, I decided to leave it in the box. When we moved into our new house, it was one of the things I was so excited to try out. It ended up being one of the first boxes we opened. I had heard all of the hype around them and I couldn’t wait any longer to try it out.
I absolutely love it. One of the things that I used to struggle with was remembering to get the meat out of the freezer to thaw out either the morning of or the night before. I don’t like to go to the store everyday so we usually keep a good amount of meat frozen in our freezer. With the instant pot, most of the time you can cook your meat from completely frozen.
They have so many good recipes on Pinterest, so it makes it really easy to decide what to eat for the night. Most of the time, I have all the ingredients already so it makes it really easy. Over the next few weeks, you should be seeing some really easy recipes to make in the instant pot. I am so obsessed. They cook in a fraction of the time and taste so good! I can’t wait to share them with you.
Somethings I have learned. Don’t ever put milk in for a substitute while pressure cooking. The milk curdles and your whole meal will have to be tossed. I tried to do that for a substitute for heavy cream and that is absolutely a terrible idea. I also learned to use the exact type of meat. I substituted chicken tenderloins for chicken breasts and they were no where near cooked when I took them out. I had to improvise at that point. Also make sure that you can use frozen meat for your specific recipe, sometimes you cannot depending on what you are making.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Let me know in the comments below what kinds of recipes you want.
Also let me know if you love or hate your Instant Pot. If you want to see more posts, please subscribe below. It would mean the world to me. I’ve also left a link below to the exact one that wehave, if you are interested. I do get compensated if you use my link.[email-subscribers-form id=”1″]
