Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute. Melt the butter then add the onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Scrape the onions to the side and add the chicken tenderloins. Sear it on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock it. Make sure the lever is set to seal. Press the manual button and set the time for 8 minutes.
- Once the time is up turn the Instant Pot off and do a quick release of pressure. Once the steam is released, carefully remove the lid.
- Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot, leaving just the liquid.
- Put the cornstarch in a small bowl and add about 1 tablespoon of the liquid. Stir together until it is blended and add it back to the Instant Pot.
- Set the Instant Pot to saute so the mixture simmers. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens. Turn off the saute and add the chicken back to the sauce, then serve.
