lazy lux honey garlic chicken

A great quick instant pot recipe that is EXTREMELY versatile. Pairs well with brown rice, caluiflower rice or vermicelli. Vegetable combinations are endless, usually if I am not adding a rice or noodle I will use 3 vegetables to ensure we are full. Go great with broccoli, carrot, zucchini, bell pepper, bok choy, sweet potato, mushrooms, asparagus, green beans, brussel's sprouts. A great meal to empty extra vegetables from your fridge before they go bad!

Instructions

Start by cooking the rice (if using) according to package directions
add 1/4 cup water, soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger to the instant pot and lay the chicken breasts along the bottom - if not using the instant pot, cook in a pan or dutch oven on the stove in the same way
if you have a steamer basket, add all vegetables this this basket and place on top of the chicken. If you don't have this attachment you can always steam the vegetables separately on the stove
pressure cook on high for 10 minutes, quick release when time is up and plate the vegetables and chicken breast
to finish the honey garlic sauce, turn the instant pot on to sautee and at the cornstarch, stir frequently until the sauce reaches desired thickness. Then top the bowls evenly with the sauce.
