Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup water
• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chicken thighs and water in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 2

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Leave chicken in the pot; drain and discard all liquid.

Step 3

Switch to the Sauté function. Add bell peppers, onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and black pepper.

Step 4

Cook until most of the liquid is evaporated, vegetables are soft, and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken thighs should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
