How to Make Instant Pot Chicken
  1. Begin by choosing the sauté mode on the Instant Pot and add the olive oil. Heat until it shimmers, which should only take a minute.
  2. Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the hot oil and brown each side for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Gently stir to combine.
  5. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing mode. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  6. Once the cooking time is up, perform a quick release of pressure carefully.
  7. Transfer the chicken to plates and generously drizzle with the savory sauce before serving.
