Garlic and Herb Instant Pot Chicken Thighs are a simple yet delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. Cooked to perfection in the pressure cooker, these tender chicken thighs are coated in a creamy garlic and herb-infused sauce.
In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken thighs, skin side up.
2
Set a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot to sauté. When it is hot, add the olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, for about 2-3 minutes or until they move easily in the pot. Remove the chicken thighs to a plate.
3
Drain the remaining oil from the Instant Pot, and add the minced garlic, cooking it for 1 minute.
4
Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits.
5
Turn off the Instant Pot, and place the chicken thighs back in the pot in a single layer, slightly overlapping and skin side up.
6
Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the valve to sealing, and cook on Manual or Pressure Cook for 10 minutes.
7
Allow pressure to release naturally for 7-8 minutes before opening the valve and removing the lid.
8
Transfer the chicken to a plate. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch, then pour the mixture into the Instant Pot.
9
Turn the Instant Pot to sauté, and simmer the sauce while whisking until it thickens. Serve the sauce with the chicken thighs.
