Ingredients
  

  • 3 to 4 pounds Chicken Thighs Skinless
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Extra Virgin
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup Honey
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch to thicken sauce if desired
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Generously season all sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Set your pressure cooker to the “sauté” setting. Once it's hot, add oil to the pot. Place the seasoned chicken thighs into the oil and sear each side for about 3 minutes, or until the chicken releases easily from the pot. Keep the chicken warm and repeat until all the chicken thighs are browned.
  • Pour chicken stock into the Instant Pot. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. This adds extra flavor to your dish.
  • Place the browned chicken thighs back into the pressure cooker.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the honey and mustard. Pour this mixture over the chicken thighs in the pot.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position. Select the “pressure cook” or “manual” setting and set the timer for 10 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, use a quick release to release the pressure.
  • Carefully remove the boneless chicken thighs from the pot. If you prefer a thicker honey mustard chicken marinade, switch the Instant Pot back to the “sauté” mode. Whisk in a thickening agent, such as cornstarch mixed with water, and stir until the honey mustard mixture reaches your desired consistency.
  • Your delicious Chicken Thighs in Honey and Mustard Sauce are ready! Serve them with creamy mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish and enjoy.

Notes

Even Cooking: Ensure the chicken thighs are of similar size for even cooking. If some are larger, consider cutting them to match the smaller pieces.
Marinate for More Intensity: For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the honey mustard sauce for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
