Honey Mustard Chicken is probably one of the most popular chicken dinner recipes.
The combination of honey and dijon mustard works great on chicken, especially with juicy and tender chicken thighs.
In this recipe, I will teach you how to make this chicken in an Instant Pot.
I have been using my Instant Pot a lot, especially on those busy weeknights when I don’t have much time in the kitchen.
I love that this Honey Mustard Chicken recipe is so easy; it calls for 5 key ingredients, with an active time of 10 minutes. I used soy sauce to enhance the flavor and it turned out absolutely delicious!
Serve the chicken with either steamed rice or plain spaghetti; ladle the sauce over the rice or mix it with the spaghetti, it’s very good. Heating up is extremely easy with the Instant Pot saute function.
Try this recipe tonight and I am sure you and your family will love the chicken so much that you are going to keep making this dish. This recipe is a keeper for sure!

Honey Mustard Chicken (Instant Pot)
Honey Mustard Chicken - tender, juicy and fall-off-the-bone chicken in rich honey mustard sauce. The easiest and most delicious chicken dinner ever!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. (0.6 kg-1 kg) chicken thighs, 5 chicken thighs
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped parley
Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and ground black pepper.
- Mix the honey, dijon mustard, soy sauce and chicken broth together. Stir to combine well.
- Turn on the Instant Pot and set the mode to Saute. Add the olive oil when it's fully heated so the chicken won't stick to the pot. Pan-sear both sides of the chicken thighs, skin side down first, until the skin is a nice golden brown and the bottom part is nicely browned.
- Add the garlic into the pot, follow by the honey mustard mixture. Cover the lid and select Manual and set to High pressure for 10 minutes. When it beeps, turn to Quick Release. When the valve drops, remove the lid carefully, add the chopped parsley. Change to saute mode and reduce the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, if you like a thicker sauce. Serve with plain spaghetti or steamed rice.
Notes
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make this Honey Mustard Chicken in a slow cooker, or on your stove top. If you use a slow cooker, make sure not to overcook it. Use high heat and cook for 3 hours. For stove top, just pan-fry the chicken and then add in the Sauce. Simmer on low heat and cook until the chicken meat is tender.

Hi Bee,
If I want to make the chicken skin a bit crispy how long should I use the air fry lid on my hot pot and at what temp? Can I do this with the sauce in the pot or do I have to remove it and just leave the chicken thighs in the IP?
Thank you.

Sorry I don’t use air fryer.

I made this tonight. Oh man. Oh. Man. This was superb! Exquisite! I made this with a rice pilaf and I barely noticed I had done anything to the rice because I had put so much sauce over it after tasting it. In the future, I will probably use skinless and boneless chicken thighs but only because I never eat the chicken skin. But no worries, the taste the browned skin adds to the dish is very well worth the trade-off. I was telling my sister the other day that anything you make, I can trust as being delicious no matter what. This dish is proof. If you were here in person, I’d not only shake your hand, I’d hug you and give you the slow clap.

I have a XL electric pressure cooker. I would like to double this recipe. Would I make adjustments to the time and amount of ingredients for the sauce?
Rasa Malaysia
Time should be the same but you can double sauce and ingredients.

I don’t have Dijon mustard, could I use regular mustard instead?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, that should work!
