HEALTHIER INSTANT POT COQ AU VIN

or those cold fall and winter nights when you want a fancy slow braised chicken, but you want it ready in less than an hour. All made in the instant pot (or the slow cooker), using simple, wholesome ingredients you may already have on hand.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2-3 slices thick cut bacon, chopped
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 carrots, chopped
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts
• 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
• 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 thyme sprigs
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• mashed potatoes, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS:
INSTANT POT
1. Set Instant Pot to sauté. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon. If there's excess bacon grease, drain off all but 1 tablespoon.

2. To the instant post, add the onion, garlic, and tomato paste and cook an additional 5 minutes. Turn the instant pot off.

3. Add in the red wine, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, chicken, carrots, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
