Ingredients
| 4 | Chicken breasts (do not use thin breasts, they will dry out) | |
| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | Favorite dark sweet barbecue sauce (e.g. Sweet Baby Ray's) |
| 2 tbs | 30 ml | Soy sauce |
| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | Orange marmalade |

Instructions
- Chop 4 chicken breasts into hearty bite size chunks.
- In Instant Pot, add in chopped chicken, 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, and 2 tbs soy sauce.
- Cook on manual high for 4 min.
- When done, fast release steam.
- Take 1/4 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.)
