For serving:
Brown the chicken. Set Instant Pot to Sauté. Add oil and sear chicken on both sides until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
Sauté aromatics. Add onion, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Deglaze. Pour in a splash of broth and scrape up browned bits from the bottom.
Add vegetables and chicken. Return chicken to the pot, then add carrots and sweet potato.
Pour in sauce. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, and broth. Pour over ingredients and stir gently.
Pressure cook. Cancel Sauté. Lock the lid and cook on High Pressure for 8 minutes if boneless, 10 minutes if using drumsticks or thighs with bone. Let pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick release.
Serve. Spoon chicken and vegetables over cooked soba noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
