This Moroccan inspired dish is a fusion between a Mediterranean recipe and the flavors of New England. We have cooked this for thousands of people in our workshops and many have told us that we should bottle the sauce. It is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, combining honey, molasses and Dijon mustard with Moroccan spices.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Set Instant Pot to saute while prepping the vegetables and chicken.
  2. Add olive oil and chicken to Instant Pot. Saute until the chicken is no longer pink. Add the rest of the ingredients including the sauce ingredients and stir well.
  3. Cover the Instant Pot and lock it. Set the manual or pressure cook time to 20 minutes.
  4. When the timer reaches zero, quick release the pressure.
  5. Enjoy!
