Step 1

Season chicken with about ¾ teaspoon salt. Set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, and water. Set aside.

Step 3

Press the “sauté” button and add oil. When oil is shimmering, add onions and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until soft (about 3-5 minutes).

Add chicken to the pot and pour soy sauce mixture over top. Turn off the sauté function and close the Instant Pot (locking the lid).

Step 6

Press the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button and set the cooking time to 10 minutes for chicken thighs or 7 minutes for chicken breasts (if your chicken pieces are bigger than 8 ounces each, you can cut them in half or increase the cooking time to 9 minutes).

Step 7

When the chicken is finished cooking, release the steam and open the lid right away to prevent over-cooking.

Step 8

Slice chicken or shred with forks; return to the pot and stir with sauce. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Place chicken on top of onions and pour sauce over everything.

Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until chicken is tender but not dry.
