To start, gather your ingredients. You’ll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. Then, grab some soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and green onions for a dash of color.

Next, let’s dive into the bowl and mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk everything until it’s smooth and fragrant.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and give them a good stir to ensure they’re evenly coated.

Time to get the pressure cooker involved! Pour the chicken and marinade into the pot, secure the lid, and set it to “High Pressure” for 10 minutes.

While the chicken works its magic in the pressure cooker, let’s quickly slice the green onions. They’ll add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Once the pressure cooker beeps, let it naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.

Carefully open the lid and transfer the chicken to a large skillet or sauté pan. Let any excess liquid simmer until it thickens into a luscious sauce that will lovingly coat the chicken.
