- The next day, place the pot over medium heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F or higher.
- Remove the chicken and set aside. Strain the liquid to remove solids, leaving only the sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a boil and add the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.
- Place the chicken under a broiler until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Allow resting.
- Prepare rice in an Instant Pot using a 1:1 ratio with chicken stock and use the rice setting.

- Serve the chicken deboned and sliced over the rice, garnished with sliced green onions, with the sautéed broccoli on the side.
