Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
salt and pepper to taste
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon thyme leaves
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat vegetable oil.
  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides; add to Instant Pot®. Cook one side at a time until both sides of the chicken are a golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  • Add onion and sauté for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Pour in white wine and stir to scrape brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil and cook until broth has reduced slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the Sauté function.
  • Return chicken Instant Pot®. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and set aside. Select the Sauté mode and bring sauce to a boil. Whisk in butter or margarine, heavy cream, salt, and thyme. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve chicken drizzled with the sauce.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
