Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore

Finish With

Steps

1
Dredge the chicken in flour and a pinch of salt. Turn on the sauté function on the Instant Pot. Add oil, and sauté the chicken for a few minutes on each side. Remove and set aside (it’s okay if they’re not cooked all the way).
2
Add onion, mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until softened. Add wine and let it sizzle out.
3
Add chicken and all other ingredients to Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Release the pressure.
4
Shred the chicken. Stir in the capers, butter, parsley and lemon.
5
Serve with angel hair pasta (for a little extra zazz, toss it with lemon juice and butter). Top the whole thing with more parsley and Parmesan.

Notes

Chicken: I prefer chicken thighs, but chicken breasts also work really well.

Freezing: You can freeze this before or after cooking. If cooking from frozen (raw), you’ll need to cook it for an additional 10-or-so minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces.

Capellini: If you are doing Sugar Free January and trying to avoid refined grains, you could serve this with whole wheat spaghetti or zucchini noodles instead.
