Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ground black pepper to taste
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

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 timer for 25 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, but 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. Cook until most 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 should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
