🍯Instant Pot Maple Mustard Chicken
If you want to sauté your chicken until lightly browned. Then add the remaining ingredients. Stir well and cook in Manual/Pressure Cook Mode until the chicken is tender.
Use an Instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature of chicken. If it reads 165 degree F then you can take it out and shred. Or else cook for a longer duration.

🍳Pan Seared Maple Mustard Chicken
If you want to make pan seared chicken then just add olive oil to a pan. Once the oil turns hot add chicken (skin side down) and sear until chicken turns light brown on the outside. This takes at least 3-4 minutes per side.
Then transfer this to a baking dish with Maple Mustard Mixture. Cook at 400 degrees F for at least 10-minutes.
