Brown Chicken Thighs or Chicken Breasts: Heat up Instant Pot using Sauté More function. Wait until it says HOT. Pat dry chicken with paper towel and season one side gently with salt + black pepper. Add in 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, then quickly add in chicken to prevent the butter from burning. While one side is browning, season the other side with more salt + black pepper. Brown first side for 3.5 minutes, then the other side for 2 minutes. Set the chicken aside.

Step 2

Saute Onion & Garlic: Add in sliced onion, then saute for 3 minutes. Add in chopped garlic, then saute for another 30 seconds.

Add the cornstarch mixture one third at a time to thicken the onion sauce until desired thickness. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt (For Reference: we added 2 pinches of salt).
