Have you fallen in love with the Instant Pot? I have tried a variety of delicious recipes; however, I think this Honey Ginger Chicken may be the favorite so far.

We have always made this as Slow Cooker Honey Ginger Chicken; however, this time I decided to try it in the Instant Pot.

It took about 25 minutes on high pressure, and then dinner was done. We like to serve it topped over some rice and with green beans to complete the meal.

It can out falling off the bone in the Instant Pot, but it was just right.

I feel like with the slow cooker the chicken is almost too tender sometimes, this Instant Pot seems to cook it just right. The sauce was the perfect combination to pair over the rice too; it’s similar to a sweet and sour sauce.

The Instant Pot right along with my beloved Air Fryer is becoming a go-to for quick dinners during the week. With activities during the week, it’s almost impossible to get dinner done quickly.

Thankfully, summer is coming. We actually only have 8 weeks left of school, so I’m counting down! I am usually ready for school to start though about a month into the summer, so I’m sure I’ll be counting down to school starting again soon enough.

In the meantime, I’m ready for long evenings outside and a little bit of a slow-down. Plus, it’s almost time to plant the garden. That’s my favorite part of the season!

I love that with using the Instant Pot, I can put it all in and then get busy helping my son with his homework. It’s a win for all of us!

What other recipes have you tried in the Instant Pot? One that we also love is this Gluten Free Instant Pot Vegetable Soup.

Enjoy this Honey Ginger Chicken – we know you will!
