Tips

• *Originally 1 cup honey. I've reduce the honey to 1/2 cup based on feedback but feel free to adjust the sweetness level to taste. Use reduced sodium soy sauce if you prefer things less salty.
• You can cook rice at the same time you cook the chicken. Here’s how I to do it. Use a 7×3 inch round cake pan or similar dish, and add rice ingredients – stir to combine. Skip sautéing the chicken in the first step and just sauté the onion and garlic then add the raw diced chicken with the ingredients in step two. Place a rack on top of the chicken in the pressure cooking pot, and place the cake pan on top of the rack.
