To make this honey garlic chicken and rice, I started by cutting some boneless, skinless chunks into one inch cubes.

Then I set my Instant Pot to Saute Less for seven minutes.

I added a dab of margarine to the pot and then dumped in the chunks of chicken breast.

I left the chicken breast chunks to cook, stirring occasionally, until the Instant Pot turned off.

When the Instant Pot turned off, the chicken breast chunks were still slightly pink.

I poured some condensed chicken broth and water into the pot and scraped the bottom of the pot well to make sure none of the chicken was sticking.

Then I added some long grain white rice to the pot.

Then I added some soy sauce, vinegar, liquid honey, galic puree, salt, pepper and sesame seeds to the pot.

I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for six minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and performed a quick release.

I removed the lid from the Instant Pot and stirred the contents well.
