SCD compliant Honey Chicken in Instant Pot image

This is adapted from barerootgirl 's Moroccan Sticky Chicken recipe. This is SCD compliant, easy to do & very tasty. (If you want cumin, feel free to follow her recipe for that: someone in my household has a sensitivity.) The first time we made it I didn't have lemon & it was still delicious.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2-2.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tsp chili powder or paprika (smoked works)
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp black pepper
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/2 c water
STIRRED IN LATER FOR SAUCE:
1/4 c (plus about a tbsp. extra) honey (tip: coat measuring cup in cooking oil & honey will pour out easily)
1 lemon, juice & zest (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Place all ingredients except honey & lemon into Instant Pot. It is okay if chicken is frozen.
  • 2. Pressure cook high for 24 minutes if chicken is frozen. If not frozen, may reduce time at least 4 minutes, maybe more. Manual pressure release as soon as time is up. Stir.
  • 3. Remove chicken to a serving bowl & cover to keep warm. Simmer sauce on sauté function, until reduced some, then add honey (& lemon juice and zest if using) & simmer more until it is the thickness you want for your sauce. Pour over chicken.
  • 4. My kid was on week 2 of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, with only limited ingredients added back in, when we served this. These are the sides I served it with: -Roasted fresh pineapple (450° F convection oven for 40 minutes.) -Green beans (very soft: pressure cooked for 9 minutes) -Zucchini "rice": Peel & de-seed 6 small zucchinis (if needed for sensitivity/early stage of SCD), then grate. In a pan with light flavored olive oil/cooking oil, heat with several cloves crushed garlic, till just cooked, then add 2-3 Tbsp. lime juice.
