Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. In the same Instant Pot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, dried thyme, paprika, chicken broth, and lemon juice to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Return the seared chicken thighs back to the pot, making sure they are coated with the honey mustard sauce.
  6. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to 'Sealing' position. Cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode at high pressure for 8 minutes.
  7. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
  8. Open the Instant Pot lid, and using tongs, transfer the chicken thighs to a serving dish.
  9. Set the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode again and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
  10. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken thighs, garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if desired), and serve hot with your favorite side dishes like rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
