Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 cup water 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped 1 large yellow onion, chopped ½ cup soy sauce ¼ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons honey 3 cloves garlic, peeled ground black pepper to taste Directions 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 the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. 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; drain and discard all liquid. Switch to the Sauté function. Add bell peppers, onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and black pepper. Cook until most of the 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 of chicken thighs should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Tips If using frozen chicken in Step 1, cook for 25 minutes. Editor's Note: Based on some reviews, we have added water in Step 1 for cooking the chicken. I Made It Print 282 home cooks made it!
