Indulgent lemon garlic chicken thighs, seasoned with Italian and Greek herbs, shallot salt, and garlic powder, topped with a rich cream sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (from Savory Spice Shop®)
  • 0.5 teaspoon supreme shallot salt (from Savory Spice Shop®)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Mt. Olympus Greek seasoning (from Savory Spice Shop®)
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 1.75 cups uncooked white rice
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 1 small lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions:
  • Preheat your Instant Pot® using the Saute function and add oil once it's hot.
  • Mix cantanzaro herbs, shallot salt, Greek seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season chicken thighs with the mixture. Sear chicken until it releases easily from the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside. Saute minced garlic in the Instant Pot® for 1 minute. Deglaze with 1/2 cup chicken broth, scraping off any browned bits.
  • Switch off the Instant Pot® and place the chicken thighs back in the pot along with an elevated rack.
  • Combine rice and the rest of the chicken broth in a small bowl. Place the bowl on the raised rack. Seal the lid securely. Choose high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes following the manufacturer's guidelines. Let the pressure build for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions to naturally release pressure for about 15 minutes. Once pressure is released, carefully perform a quick release for about 5 minutes. Unlock the lid and transfer the cooked rice and chicken to a plate.
  • Combine cream, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the remaining liquid in the Instant Pot® and set to Saute function. Simmer until the sauce thickens, then serve with chicken thighs.
