White Wine Braised Chicken
This delicious recipe makes a light gravy for added flavor. Easy as can be in an Instant Pot.
Equipment
- Instant Pot
- Chef's Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 3 lb Chicken (Bone in thighs, breasts, wings and drumsticks)
- 1/2 tsp Salt (Or to taste)
- 1/2 Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Strips Bacon (Diced)
- 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 cups Sliced Mushrooms
- 2 Cups Diced Leeks
- 1 1/2 Cups Chopped Carrots
- 1/2 tbsp White or Yellow Miso Paste
- 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 1/4 Cup Chicken Broth
- 2 Cups White Wine
- 1 Cup Shallots Diced
- 3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 1 Bay Leaf
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Set Instant Pot to Saute. Once hot, add chopped bacon and cook until crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Then hit Cancel, and set bacon aside.
- Return Instant Pot to Saute. Brown chicken well on all sides, then set aside. (Note: It may be easier to do this on the stove top - depending on the size of the chicken pieces)
- Add butter to the Instant Pot and coat the bottom, then add mushrooms. Saute until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- Add leeks and carrots, and cook until fork tender, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in miso paste and flour. Cook for approximately 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Deglaze the insert with 1/4 cup chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the chicken, white wine, remaining broth, thyme sprigs, bacon, and bay leaf.
- Cover and set to seal and set to Manual Pressure for 12 minutes. Quick release when finished. The chicken should be cooked through completely at this point (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Stir in mushrooms. If the sauce hasn’t thickened, set to Saute and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Remove bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with a garnish of fresh thyme leaves.
Notes
Drink Selection
Serve the same wine that you used to cook with. This will highlight the flavor in the chicken.
