Instant Pot Coq Au Vin

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound bacon, diced
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound mushrooms, sliced

Directions

1. Set the Instant Pot to the “saute” setting. Add the olive oil, bacon, onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the bacon is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
2. Add the thyme and flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add the wine, broth, chicken, salt, and pepper to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and seal the lid. Set the Instant Pot to the “manual” setting and cook for 15 minutes.
