Instant Pot French Chicken Casserole

Step 1

Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When the display says HOT add in the butter and swirl it around to melt. Add in the shallot and celery and sauté for about 4 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot. Add in the vinegar and bay leaf. Add in the chicken pieces and potatoes. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme on top of the chicken and potatoes.

Step 4

Use tongs to place chicken and potatoes on a platter. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. Add in the heavy cream and the cornstarch slurry. Stir until thickened and then turn off Instant Pot.
