Cooking chicken in an Instant Pot is such a snap because you can sear it first, then steam. Bone-in chicken, which I prefer, turns out fork tender without becoming dry and absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients.
Vinegar Chicken is a long lost recipe that you don’t see all the time, and I am here to bring it back into fashion with a little updated taste because it’s that good. Red Wine Vinegar adds a mild tang and tenderizes the protein into a savory sensation. The vinegar becomes a creamy sauce when a pat of butter is added at the finish.
Adding vegetables with chicken is always good idea – just make sure the cooking times are similar, like in this recipe. Fresh artichokes are a breeze to make and soften gently in the steamy environment. The combination of poultry, and the mild vegetable in the elegant sauce makes this meal spectacular.
It’s so nice to come home after a long day and put together a meal that’s easy, satisfying and divine. I think this dinner is superb with a glass of dry Chardonnay or a California Pinot Noir.
