Instructions to Flavor Town

Now that you’ve got all your ingredients, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of how to put this all together:

First, set that Instant Pot to sauté mode, and heat up the olive oil. Toss in the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, letting them cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they’re soft and fragrant.
Next, add the chicken breasts to the pot, browning each side for about 3-4 minutes. Don’t rush this step; it’s where the flavor starts!
Once the chicken is browned, pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and salt. Give it a good stir and ensure everything’s nicely mixed.
Add the diced papaya on top without stirring it in. This way, those sweet flavors will meld together beautifully during cooking.
Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
After the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for about 5 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Once it’s done, be careful when opening the lid and take a moment to bask in that aromatic goodness! You can shred the chicken if you like for easier serving.
Serve it hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, and pair it with rice or your favorite side dish.

And just like that, you have a delightful plate of Instant Pot Chicken Papaya that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy every last bite!
