Freezer Meal alert for this recipe!

If chicken is on sale, buy a bunch and divide them into dinner portions.

Use a FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System and when you feel like Jalapeno Honey Chicken, take out a pouch the night before.

Grab a good whisk and vigorously mix up the marinade.

Ingredients to Pressure Cooker Jalapeno Honey Chicken.

• Lots of Jalapeño Peppers
• Distilled Vinegar
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• White Sugar
• Kosher Salt
• Black Pepper
• Oregano
• Lots of Garlic
• Honey

Essentially, this is how you make pickled Jalapenos.

So, while pickling the Jalapeños in the Instant Pot DUO Plus, Mealty MultiPot or Pressure Cooker the chicken cooks, at the same time as the Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

How to Make Pickled Jalapeños.

Whisk together ingredients for pickling.

Add the dressing to a pan with sliced jalapeños.

Boil it on the stove top and then cool down.

Store in jars and chill, until ready to use.

The longer the chicken marinates, the better.

It is a good time to work on the potatoes while the chicken is marinating.

If you soak the potatoes for 30 minutes, much of the starch will rinse away.

The potatoes will be much fluffier and tastier.

What is a Dump and Push Recipe?

A dump and push recipe is a process of adding all the ingredients to the Instant Pot, Mealty MultiPot or Pressure Cooker and then setting the time.

There still may be some simmering after the cook time is up.

Dump and Push recipes are often good to package up for Freezer Meals.

Other Dump and Push Recipes for the Pressure Cooker.

• Pressure Cooker Balsamic Ginger Chicken
• Slow Cooker / Pressure Cooker Russian Chicken {Instant Pot}
• Pressure Cooker Friday Night Shabbos Brisket
• Pressure Cooker Salsa Lime Chicken Cilantro Lime Rice
• Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip
• Pressure Cooker Creamy Baked Ziti

If making potatoes at the same time, you will need to use a tall trivet.

This excellent steamer basket is wonderful for steaming food!

While the liquid is reducing, you can make the Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

The honey will thicken the glaze and become a bit sticky.

You many want a sweeter glaze and if so, just add more honey.

The chicken will finish cooking once it returns to the pot and simmers with the honey.

Add more diced jalapeño if you like!

It will add a bit of crunch.

See my Pressure Cooker Mashed Potatoes recipe for how to mash potatoes, so they are not gummy.

Did you know that Yukon Gold potatoes do okay boiled in water, but Russets break a part and shouldn’t be boiled?

Both types of potatoes are perfect for steaming!

If you are watching carbs, try my Pressure Cooker Mashed Turmeric Cauliflower instead of potatoes.

For jalapeno lovers, try my Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Jalapeño Poppers.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
