This Pressure Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is one of my all-time favorite Instant Pot chicken recipes. It’s a great quick and easy dinner idea.
I absolutely love my Instant Pot. This is the one I have. It’s a real lifesaver on busy weeknights. It takes no time at all to pull together a flavorful, homemade meal using the pressure cooker function.
This Honey Garlic Chicken is a twist on my slow cooker honey garlic chicken. In this recipe, though, I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs. The thighs stay moist in the high-pressure cooking environment and have great flavor. I also have a skillet brown sugar chicken and a baked honey garlic chicken, too.

Is the 15 min manual setting on high? My model allows me to select medium or high on manual.
Yes, it is.
Can you use frozen chicken?
Absolutely! You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly though. I would start by adding 5-10 minutes.
My kids love honey garlic chicken! This recipe is a little bit different so I can’t wait to try it. I love making it for my kids in the slow cooker because it’s easy and quick.
THis is very easy and quick!
This was such a simple but delicious meal! Can’t wait to make it again!
This flavor combination is heavenly! I know it’s going to be a family favorite for us!
SO EASY TO MAKE – perfect for busy families and the house smelt amazing as it cooked. I love chicken and honey in combination but switching out my normal mustard for garlic meant that the kids would eat it as well.
The salty-sweet sauce for this chicken is delicious! I love that you don’t have to sear the chicken before adding it to the pressure cooker. It saves time and dishes!.
Yes, ma’am! I’m all about less dishes!
What a super scrumptious recipe! My mouth is salivating just waiting for my Instant Pot to finish cooking this fabulous honey garlic chicken. I’m in my office, but I can smell the heavenly aroma floating out from my kitchen. Thank you so much for this quick and easy recipe!
