Recipe was easy to follow and came out delicious! Would suggest revising step 3 to adding the broth and acv first and scraping the bottom of the pot and then adding the rest of the ingredients. Thanks!
Kerry
My whole family of picky eaters loved this. I threw some potatoes into the pot just before sealing and they came out just as flavorful. Easy weeknight, pantry clearing, one-pot dinner

Thanks for the review Kerry – so happy your family enjoyed it!

What is the serving amount? I’m tracking Weight Watchers points lol. I have the nutritional info but wasn’t sure what serving size it’s for. Thanks!
Taryn Solie
Hi Jennifer! I have this dish as 6 servings, so a serving size is 1/6 of the total dish. For the chicken thighs it would be 5.33 oz of meat, but I don’t have a weight measurement for the remainder of the dish. I do hope that’s somewhat helpful!

Can I use boneless thighs?
Taryn Solie
Hi Jan! Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs are what I used in this recipe!
Jan T
Sheesh. How embarrassing…
Taryn Solie
No need to be embarrassed! It wasn’t clear in the recipe card so I went back and edited it. Thanks for pointing it out!
Barb
5 minutes? The chicken was not cooked through. I’m new to instapot cooking. Wondering what I did wrong!
Taryn Solie
Oh shoot Barb! Did you have boneless chicken thighs or bone-in? And did you sear them on both sides for 4 to 5 minutes each, then cook them for 5 minutes under pressure? I’m happy to troubleshoot as I hate that it didn’t turn out for you!
Barb
Hi! Thank you for your time! I did sear them all sides five minutes each. I had only four pieces. They were bone in! Is that where it went wrong? Would you have added more time with bone in to begin with? I did toss everything back in and added another 10 minutes cooking time and ten minute natural pressure release and it came out tasty anyway! Very flavorful! Thank you for the suggestion!
Taryn Solie
Yes, the bone in is what caused them to be cooked longer. The recipe calls for boneless chicken thighs which take less time. It sounds like you were able to cook them a bit longer and they turned out, which is great!
