Ingredients

  • 3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp siracha sauce* see note
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 3 whole cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • Rice of your choice to serve with

Instructions

  • Prepare chicken & Green Beans
  • Place chicken breasts in 6-quart instant pot
  • in small bowl, combine honey, siracha sauce, vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic and sesame oil.*SEE NOTE
  • Pour over chicken in pot
  • Lock lid in place and set on high pressure, manual cook for 15 minutes.
  • Allow pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes before carefully releasing remaining pressure.
  • Unlock and carefully open lid.
  • Transfer chicken to container with lid to keep warm, place green beans into Instant Pot and lock the back in place, set on high pressure, manual cook for 4 minutes. Quick release the steam and once steam has finished venting (this will take a few minutes) carefully remove the lid, being very cautious not to burn yourself.
  • Remove the green beans to a container to keep warm (use the same container as the chicken, if desired).
  • Prepare Sauce
  • Strain cooking liquid through a fine mesh strainer back into the Instant Pot and set to saute.
  • Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes or until reduced and thickened.
  • Slice chicken and serve over rice with green beans. Drizzle sauce over the chicken and green beans and garnish with green onions if desired.

Notes

  • The best thing about this sauce is that it's highly adaptable. Feel free to add additional spice to kick it up higher, or cut it back to cool it down. But be warned, making too many modifications will change the flavor profile, so taste the sauce before putting it the pot to ensure it stays balanced.
  • Rice is not calculated in the  estimated nutrition values and must be calculated separately
