Close lid and set valve to “sealing.” Set to pressure cook for two minutes. When timer goes off, use potholders to turn valve to quick release. Remove lid.
- Meanwhile, stir maple syrup and cornstarch together in a small bowl and let sit for several minutes, stir again until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- Once lid is removed, stir maple syrup mixture into the chicken mixture. Set to sauté, and bring to a simmer, stirring. (Sauce will thicken as soon as it comes to a simmer.) Stir in scallions, turn off heat and serve hot.
