    1. Hi Heidi, All of our recipes are tested by test cooks before we publish them. In this recipe, the chicken is quartered to make it cook faster. If you didn’t quarter your meat, you may want to add a little extra time. Happy Cooking! OAMM

  1. I have bone-in chicken thighs in the refrigerator not boneless breast. Can I make this recipe with bone-in chicken thighs and if so, how long does the chicken have to cook to achieve this recipe? Thank you ?

  2. My 15yo son made this the other night – and it was so good!!! We had boneless, skinless thighs instead of breasts, and used regular mustard instead of dijon. The sauce was amazing! This was the first recipe we tried in our Instant Pot. I had already been reading about your program, and was planning to join this week. He didn’t know that, but found this recipe on your site.
