Instant Pot Asian Braised Chicken with Soba Noodles

1 Brown the chicken. Set Instant Pot to Sauté. Add oil and sear chicken on both sides until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
2 Sauté aromatics. Add onion, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3 Deglaze. Pour in a splash of broth and scrape up browned bits from the bottom.
4 Add vegetables and chicken. Return chicken to the pot, then add carrots and sweet potato.
5 Pour in sauce. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, and broth. Pour over ingredients and stir gently.
6 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.
8 Serve. Spoon chicken and vegetables over cooked soba noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
