Honey Sesame Chicken IP

Food in the Instant Pot just keeps getting better and better. Everything so far has turned out wonderfully! This is no exception. I added a few things, an extra 1/4 cup water, as I though there was supposed to be 1 cup of water or liquid to pressure cook? I might be wrong, but it made me feel better and didn’t hurt the flavour. I added chopped ginger and diced sweet peppers. I would do that again too. I also added about 5 cloves of garlic. If you have 6 minutes, this is the meal for you! lol

4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced (about 2 lbs.)
Freshly ground pepper and salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup soy sauce*
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup honey*
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
2 green onions, chopped
Sesame seeds, toasted

This picture is after it was cooked, before I added the honey and cornstarch.

This is the food after 3 minutes of sauteeing, and after the sauce was added.
