Instant Pot Maple Dijon Chicken And Sweet Potatoes Recipes

INSTANT POT® MAPLE-DIJON CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function.
• Combine garlic salt, oregano, and thyme in a small bowl. Sprinkle over chicken thighs, skin-side up.
• Add grapeseed oil to the pressure cooker when it says 'hot.' Sear chicken thighs, skin-side down, until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Continue in batches with any remaining chicken thighs. Transfer to a plate.
• Drain any remaining oil in the pressure cooker. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the cooker to ensure brown bits are incorporated.
• Turn off the pressure cooker. Place chicken thighs back into the cooker, skin-side up, overlapping if needed.
• Mix Dijon mustard and maple syrup together in a small bowl. Pour over chicken thighs. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Add mushrooms to the pressure cooker. Whisk heavy cream and cornstarch together in a bowl; stir into remaining liquid in the pressure cooker.
• Turn on the multi-functional pressure cooker and select Saute function. Let sauce simmer, whisking often, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with chicken thighs.

MAPLE GLAZED CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes, and set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken tenders with steak seasoning; heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken tenders until the meat is lightly browned and no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, and set aside. Stir the maple syrup into the skillet, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the skillet. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 minutes, and stir in the green onions.
• To serve, place the mashed sweet potatoes onto a serving platter, top with the chicken tenders, and pour the maple sauce over the chicken.
