Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

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 xanthan gum or 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken sauce if desired
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  •  
  • Generously season all sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Set pressure cooker to “saute.” When hot, add oil. Place the chicken in the oil and sear each side for 3 minutes or until the chicken releases from the pot. Keep chicken warm and repeat until all chicken is browned.
  • Pour chicken stock into instant pot and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to remove the stuck on pieces. Arrange chicken thighs in the pressure cooker.
  • Mix together honey and mustard and pour over chicken.
  • Cover with the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook 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 saute mode and whisk in a thickening agent stirring until thickened.

Notes

Serve with raw carrots or steamed broccoli.
