Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 4–6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can also use bone-in thighs with the skin removed)
- Salt and pepper
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried rosemary leaves
- 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp ground sage
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups water
- 1 Tbsp Better than Bouillon chicken base
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. While the pot is heating up trim off excess fat from the chicken thighs (I like to use kitchen shears). Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken thighs. When the Instant Pot says HOT on the display add in the butter and let it melt. Add in the chicken pieces in an even layer and let brown lightly on one side for 3 minutes. Use tongs to turn over and brown for another 3 minutes on the other side. Use tongs to move chicken out of the pot and lay it on a plate.
- Add the mushrooms and onions into the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, sage, kosher salt and pepper.
- Pour in the lemon juice, water and bouillon. Scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Cancel off the sauté setting.
- Add the chicken back into the pot. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 10 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10-15 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. Make a cornstarch slurry by stirring together the heavy cream and the cornstarch. Stir a cup of the hot liquid into the cornstarch/cream. Then stir the mixture into the Instant Pot to thicken the sauce.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
