How to Make Honey Garlic Chicken in a Ninja Foodi Using the Electric Pressure Cooker Function
Aunt Lou here.
When I made this Ninja Foodi Honey Garlic Chicken, I knew my family was going to love it. You see, in my house, this recipe is loved so much that I have made it not only in the crock pot (You can find that recipe here.) and on the stove (You can find that recipe here.) Everyone I have ever served this to has devoured it, even my picky eater!
When I make a recipe that is an instant favorite in my crock pot, I always try to figure out if there are other methods that can be used to make the same meal. Don’t get me wrong, I love my crock pot, but I also know that there can be various reasons why using your crock pot might not always be the best option. With this electric pressure cooker recipe, you now have the recipes to make this delicious chicken dish in your crock pot, on your stove or in an electric pressure cooker. However, you make it, I hope you enjoy this as much as me and my loved ones do!

Ninja Foodi Honey Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken cubed
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- Cooked Rice
Instructions
- Place your cubed chicken in a stainless steel bowl that is big enough for everything to go in and be stirred but will also fit on top of your trivet in your electric pressure cooker with the lid on.
- In a medium size bowl, mix together your honey, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce and garlic until well blended.
- Pour your sauce over your cubed chicken and stir well.
- Seal and cook on high for 8 minutes, quick release and carefully stir your chicken (you stir halfway through cooking so the chicken doesn't stick together and not cook through), seal and cook for an additional 8 minutes and quick release again.
- Remove your chicken with a slotted spoon and place in a dish you can cover to keep warm.
- Using heat safe gloves, pour the sauce from cooking into a medium size pot.
- In a small bowl or coffee cup, mix together the corn starch and water until completely blended and stir into the sauce.
- Heat over medium high heat until it is at a rolling boil (about 3-5 minutes), reduce heat to medium and cook for approximately 7-10 minutes more, stirring continually, until it is just a little thinner than you want it. (It will thicken as it cools.)
- Stir your chicken into your thickened sauce and serve chicken and sauce over a bed of rice.
