Chicken & Mushrooms

Another Instant Pot… You can find the original recipe idea at sweetcsdesigns.com for her One Pot Garlic Chicken Thighs and Mushrooms.

Ingredients:

4 tbsp butter, divided
Season Salt and Pepper
4 chicken thighs, bones removed (skinless or with skin OK)
6-10 cloves garlic, sliced in half or finely diced (I like minced instead)
8 oz cremini mushrooms, stems removed and wiped clean
1 cup chicken stock
1 pinch to 1 tsp red pepper flakes, depending on your desired spicy level
½ cup diced Parsley (optional)
2 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Sauté in Instant Pot. Add butter, swirl around pan, and let melt. When butter is foamy and melted, add seasoned chicken thighs. Cook until golden but not completely cooked.

Remove from pan – do not drain pan grease. Add garlic to pan, stir well. Add mushrooms to pan, stirring occasionally to keep mushrooms and garlic from burning. Add second half of butter to pan, let melt. Let garlic and mushrooms brown – about 4-6 minutes.

Add red pepper flakes (add slowly according to your taste) and parsley when chicken and mushrooms are lovely golden browned. Add stock, lemon juice, and cheese. Stir well, being sure to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Stop saute cycle.
