How to Prepare This Dish
Cooking Chicken in the Instant Pot
Preparing chicken in the Instant Pot is one of my favorite ways to prepare chicken. It is super easy to throw together, and you can set it and forget it, allowing you to work on preparing the rest of the dish.
To cook these chicken thighs (or breasts, if you’d like) using the Instant Pot, make sure the thighs are thawed. Then, set them in the Instant Pot on a metal trivet and add about 1/2-1 cup of water to sit on the bottom of the pot.
For each pound of chicken, cook for 8 minutes. So, if you have 2 lbs. of chicken thighs, you would pressure cook for 16 minutes. If you have 3 lbs. of chicken thighs, you would cook for 24 minutes, and so on.
Once the cook time is complete, you can do an immediate release. Cooking chicken thighs this way produces incredibly moist and tender chicken, perfect for a dish such as this where you really want the meat to shred easily.
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
5 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless (cooked in the Instant Pot, oven, or stovetop)
2 T. ghee or extra virgin olive oil
1 red or yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic
¼ cup chicken broth
1 (13.5 oz.) can unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk
1 T. arrowroot powder
1 T. Italian seasoning
1 T. garlic powder
1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
½ - 1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (14 oz.) can quartered artichoke, drained, and chopped up (not jarred & marinated)
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes
2 cups fresh spinach
Directions:
Cook the chicken thighs in the instant pot, oven, or on the stove.
In a pot, add the ghee, onion and garlic cloves and cook over medium heat until the onions are soft.
Add the chicken broth, coconut milk and arrowroot starch to the pot and whisk until thickened.
Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach and mix until the spinach has wilted.
Shred the chicken thighs (optional) and to the pot. Mix all together.
Enjoy!
