Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs (750g - 1kg) chicken thighs
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes with its oil
- 3 prigs thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
- Turn on the Sauté mode on the Instant Pot. Once the pot is fully heated, add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs (skin side down first) until both sides are browned. You can also pan-fry the chicken thighs in a regular or non-stick skillet on the stovetop.
- Spoon out and discard the excess chicken fat from the Instant Pot.
- Add the remaining olive oil and sauté the garlic briefly. Then, add the chicken broth, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and salt. Cover the pot, select Manual, and set it to high pressure for 10 minutes.
- When it beeps, turn to Quick Release. Once the valve drops, carefully remove the cover. Switch to Sauté mode, add the grated Parmesan cheese, and cook for 2 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Serve immediately

Notes
- This recipe is inspired by Diethood.
- I used a 6-quart Instant Pot. You may use chicken breasts and pressure cook for 10 minutes. If you use frozen chicken, increase the time to 15 minutes. The whipping cream didn't curdle, it's OK to pressure cook.
- If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this on a stove top by following the same recipe. Simmer the chicken on low heat until the chicken thighs are cooked through.
- You may also cook this using a slow cooker. Just cook for 4 hours.
