Balsamic Cranberry Chicken Thighs - 6 Smart Points
Main Dish - Chicken, Poultry, Pressure cooker
Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: 30 min Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless (about 8)
Salt and pepper
1 red onion chopped
1/4 cup water
1 cup cranberry sauce, whole berry (canned)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon cornstarch
DIRECTIONS
Spray the pot liner with cooking spray. Set it on Saute More.
While the pot is heating, season the thighs with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, brown the tops of the thighs - approximately 4-5 minutes each batch. Remove to a platter.
Put the chopped onion in the pot and saute until it starts to carmelize. If there is stuck on stuff from browning the chicken, add the 1/4 cup of water and work with a spatula to scrape up the drippings and let the onions absorb the flavoring.
In a small mixing bowl, and the cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder and rosemary and mix well.
Arrange the browned thighs in the pot on top of the onions. Pour the sauce mixture on top of thighs trying to cover all.
Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Use quick pressure release.
Remove the chicken thighs to a platter. To thicken the sauce you can either saute while stirring until it reduces by half, or you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and add the slurry to the sauce. Saute until it thickens (2-3 minutes).
Each thigh with 1/2 cup of gravy is one serving.
