Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes (for fresh chicken tenders) or 5 minutes (for frozen chicken tenders). When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

In a small bowl stir together the milk and cornstarch until smooth. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting and stir in the cornstarch mixture. It will thicken the sauce quickly.
