Can I cook this recipe in an Instant Pot?

Yes! I have made this exact recipe in my pressure cooker, and it comes out great. I sliced chicken breasts into pieces that were similar thickness and cooked on High for 12 minutes.

Then, I followed the other directions exactly the same–removing the chicken to add the cornstarch slurry, etc. It turned out great!
