Cooking chicken in the Instant Pot is the best! I love how easy and mess free it is for me as it all cooks in one pot and really involves me doing very little.  One of my favorite sauces to make for chicken is a simple honey mustard sauce.  It is sweet, tangy, and oh-so good!

I was inspired to make this recipe again when I was at the grocery store and found a nice stone ground mustard from a local brewery in Ann Arbor.  I knew it would be so great in the honey mustard sauce for this recipe!

I ended up serving the chicken over a bowl of couscous with a side of bavarian soft pretzels but it totally up to you what to pair with it.
