If you'd like to thicken the cooking juices into a sauce:
Make a slurry mix together equal parts water and cornstarch. (1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup cornstarch for example) in a mason jar. Put a lid on it and give it a shake.Remove all the chicken from the juices in the bottom of the instant pot and set it aside in a clean bowl. Turn the "sauté" feature on and as it comes to a boil, whisk in some of the slurry, a little at a time. (The amount necessary will vary depending on how much liquid is released during cooking.) Let it boil for a minute and decide if you would like it thicker. If so, add a bit more of the slurry till you reach your desired consistency. Return chicken back into the sauce and serve how you desire.
