Instant Pot Asian Chicken

I wish I could remember who gave us our Instant Pot from our wedding registry because I want to send you a million thank you notes. I mean a kitchen tool that can turn frozen chicken into delicious, yummy dinner in 10 minutes... yep sign me up

Growing up, my mom used to make Asian chicken, and it was one of my favorite things. Since then, her and I have both learned that while that recipe was delicious and one we will still enjoy - it was packed with a lot of unnecessary added sugar. So I decided to recreate a lower sugar version that makes for the perfect weeknight meal. And don’t worry, if you don’t have an Instant Pot you can make this in a crockpot or on the stove top.
