Cook for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until browned on both sides remove the chicken to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. My family loves it with whole grain country bread or French bread for dipping into the extra sauce. The classic French dish is now made easier in one appliance This Instant Pot coq au vin has all the classic flavors of a rich red wine-mushroom sauce but is so simple to make. If there's excess bacon grease, drain off all but 1 tablespoon. Add half of the chicken pieces to the pot. Don’t be intimidated by the elegant name.

Ready in less than 45 minutes with minimal effort, this easy one-pot meal is sure to become a new family favorite V. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion, tomato paste and garlic to pressure cooker cook and stir 5 minutes. Brown chicken on both sides in reserved drippings remove and set aside. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in pressure cooker.

Stir broth, thyme sprigs, and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt into slow cooker. While you could do this using the Instant Pot Saute setting, you could only do a few pieces at a time, and would get another dish dirty while you cooked the other pieces, so we browned the pieces in a skillet before potting them up. Add wine and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet, until reduced by half, about 6 minutes. This recipe, adapted from Craig Claiborne’s The New York Times Cookbook, starts by flouring and browning the chicken pieces in oil and/or butter. You can make this chicken wine stew using either red wine or white wine, but be sure you use a wine you would actually drink, since a cheap wine might well add an off taste to the resulting stew. One thing you ought to be able to do really well in an Instant Pot is a stew, and while a lot of stews are really cold weather dishes, we decided that Coq au Vin would be fine in the fairly hot weather we are still having.
