Chop 4 chicken breasts or thighs into hearty bite size chunks.
In Instant Pot, add in chopped chicken, ¾ cup barbecue sauce, and 2 tbs soy sauce.
Cook on manual high for 4 min.
When done, fast release steam.
Take ¼ cup of the barbecue chicken broth sauce out of Instant Pot and mix with 2 tsp cornstarch in a small bowl. (This prevents lumps. Cornstarch will thicken sauce.)
Add cornstarch broth mixture back into Instant Pot.
Add ¾ cup orange marmalade. Mix well.
Change setting on Instant Pot to sauté setting and sauté for 6 min or until sauce thickens.
Allow it to rest 5 minutes before serving. This will thicken sauce also.
Garnish with green onions. Serve over rice, noodles or by itself
WHAT IF YOU WANT A THICKER SAUCE?
To thicken the sauce, you must add 2 tsps of cornstarch to the sauce.
You will need to sauté the sauce with the chicken for about 6 minutes to help reduce the liquid.
You will also need to let it cool down 3 to 5 minutes.
The cooling process allows some of the steam to evaporate and the cornstarch to set into a thicker form. |

Note: If you don't like very sweet dishes, one option is to reduce the amount of orange marmalade to half a cup and add in 1 tablespoon of fresh orange zest. Reducing the amount of marmalade will make the sauce a bit more watery, therefore, you will will also want to add in a little more cornstarch in the end.
Note 2: Another option is to keep the recipe exactly how it is and add in a little more soy sauce. The salt flavor will level out some of that sweetness.
