You can use any type of boneless chicken for this recipe, such as skinless boneless chicken breasts or thighs. Put chicken and 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot and cook on “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” menu for 10 minute for chicken breasts (or 15 minutes for thighs), then do a quick release of the steam (QR).

While the chicken is cooking, make the honey-mustard sauce by mixing honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper (quantities are listed in the recipe card on the bottom of this article).
Step 3: Chop the chicken
Take the chicken out of Instant Pot and drain the water. Chop the chicken and return to Instant Pot.
Step 4: Add honey-mustard sauce
Add the honey mustard sauce to the chopped chicken.
Step 5: Cook honey-mustard chicken on Saute setting
Switch the Instant Pot to the “Saute” setting. Mix the chopped chicken with honey-mustard sauce and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until everything is warmed through.
Enjoy the deliciousness!
