Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 6), fat trimmed
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tsp. black pepper, plus more to taste
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 large celery stalks, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 large carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh sage
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 c. white wine (or low-sodium chicken broth)
4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
1 c. uncooked wild rice (not quick-cooking)
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp. salted butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 bunch kale, leaves torn into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot and set to sauté. Working in batches, add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned, 21⁄2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.

  • Remove the chicken from the pot and shred with two forks in a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash together the butter and flour with a fork to make a paste.
  • Return the chicken to the pot. Add the butter mixture, stirring to thicken. Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Add the kale and cook 2 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and bring to a simmer, then press cancel. Just before serving, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
