Instructions
Place the 4 chicken breasts in the Instant Pot in a single layer if possible.
In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup water until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.
Close the lid, set the steam release valve to "Sealing," and cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes.
When the cook time ends, perform a Quick Pressure Release (carefully move the valve to "Venting" and keep hands/face clear of the steam).
Open the lid and remove the chicken breasts to a cutting board.
Press the "Sauté" button on the Instant Pot. While the pot heats, in a small bowl whisk the 3 teaspoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth to make a slurry.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the hot sauce in the Instant Pot and stir. Let the sauce simmer while stirring occasionally until it thickens, about 2–4 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the cooked chicken into bite-size pieces.
Add the cut chicken back into the Instant Pot and stir to coat with the thickened sauce. Let everything warm together for 1 minute.
Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked rice and garnish with chopped scallions to taste.
