Ingredients
  

  • 3 to 4 pounds Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ cup Dijon Mustard
  • ½ cup Honey
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch to thicken sauce if desired
  • pinch Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Generously season all sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Set the pressure cooker to “saute.” When hot, add oil. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the oil and sear each side for 3 minutes or until the chicken releases from the pot. Keep the chicken warm and repeat until all the chicken is browned.
  • Pour chicken stock into the Instant Pot and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to remove the stuck-on pieces. Arrange the chicken thighs in the pressure cooker.
  • Mix together honey and mustard and pour over the chicken.
  • Cover with the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook chicken thighs on “pressure cook” or “manual” for 10 minutes. Use a quick release to release the pressure.
  • Remove the chicken. If a thicker sauce is desired, you can switch the pressure cooker to sauté mode and whisk in a thickening agent, stirring until thickened.
  • Your perfectly cooked Instant Pot Chicken Thighs are now done! Pair them with creamy mashed potatoes or any other delightful side dish of your choice.

Notes

For tender and flavorful Instant Pot chicken thighs, use bone-in, skin-on pieces to lock in moisture and enhance taste.
To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the pot; cook in batches if necessary, especially when using larger quantities of chicken thighs.
