If you’re looking for a quick and easy Instant Pot chicken recipe, you have to try this honey mustard curry chicken. It’s so delicious and so simple — practically a dump and go Instant Pot recipe. Just make the sauce, pour it over the chicken, and cook!

The original recipe for honey curry chicken calls for baking the chicken in the oven, and it’s oh, so good! Then, why bother making honey curry chicken in the pressure cooker? Well, maybe you’re obsessed with making dinner in your Instant Pot.

Or, maybe you don’t want to use the oven. Maybe you live in the desert like I do, and it’s too dang hot to turn the oven on.  It’s springtime in the desert, you guys, and that means the days of baking are coming to an end. But you can still enjoy this delicious chicken dinner if you cook it in the Instant Pot!

Like I said, this is one of the easiest Instant Pot recipes out there, and it’s super, super simple. Just make the sauce, and add the chicken and some dried minced onions to the pressure cooker. I like to use a little olive oil on the bottom to help keep the honey from sticking.

Then, pour some water and the sauce over the chicken, and let the pressure cooker go to work. Easy peasy, right?

I did some experimenting, and I found that a half cup of water works well here. One cup is too much, and a quarter cup is not enough. I got the burn message when I tried this, although the chicken turned out fine.

But since I don’t want you to get the burn message, go with one half cup of water. When the chicken is done, you can turn the pot to saute, and the sauce will thicken up. It won’t be very thick, just thick enough and so good!

Seriously, you guys, the sauce is amazing! You’ll want to drink it right up — trust me!

How spicy is this recipe?

It’s not spicy at all. I use Simply Balanced Organic Curry Powder, and it’s very mild. It also makes your house smell amazing! You can use any curry powder here, though.

What if I don’t like mustard?

The Dijon mustard is slightly sweet and tangy, and when you mix it with honey, you can’t really taste the mustard.
