Instant Pot Sticky Korean Chicken

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1-2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
• steamed white rice, for serving
• 1 cup kimchi
• 1 mango, sliced
• toasted sesame seeds and green onions, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In the bowl of your instant pot the soy sauce, honey, Gochujang, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Add the chicken, tossing to coat. Cover and cook on high pressure/manual for 8 minutes. Once done cooking, use the quick release valve and release the steam. If needed to thicken the sauce, set the instant post to sauté and cook 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken. If the sauce seems thin, just continue to cook on sauté, checking often until the sauce is your desired consistency.
2. To serve, spoon the chicken and sauce over bowls of rice. Toss the kimchi with the mangos and serve alongside the chicken. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy! 

SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS

• In the bowl of your crockpot, combine 2 tablespoons water, the soy sauce, honey, Gochujang, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Add the chicken, tossing to coat. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. If the sauce needs thickening, turn the heat to high and cook uncovered for 30 minutes.  Finish as directed above.
