Instructions

  • Mix soy sauce, honey, oil, lime juice, and chopped garlic in a small bowl to create the marinade.
  • Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Heat pressure cooker on sauté mode with a small amount of oil. Brown chicken breasts for 2 minutes each side until golden.
  • Add a little chicken broth or water to the pot. Lock lid, cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Carefully open lid once pressure drops.
  • Remove chicken, let rest a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges before serving.

Notes

Let leftovers cool and store in fridge 3–4 days. Slice and freeze for longer storage. Use broth for soups or to cook rice later.
