Start sauce: Add onion and garlic to pot and cook until starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, herbs and seasoning. Stir, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pot.

Pressure cook: Place chicken thighs back in the instant pot. Secure lid and set the pressure valve to &quot;sealing&quot;. Choose &quot;pressure cook&quot; (or &quot;manual&quot;) and &quot;high&quot; for 12 minutes. Naturally release pressure after cooking time is up (just switch off the instant pot and leave it alone until pressure is gone).

Finish sauce: Carefully remove thighs. Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Pour thickener slurry into pot, stir well and simmer until sauce has thickened. Stir in butter until melted and serve sauce over chicken.

Maple-Glazed Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

(4 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

salt and fresh ground pepper, (to taste)

sweet or smoked paprika

bacon

sugar free low carb maple syrup

dijon mustard

cracked pepper, (for topping, optional)

chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish, optional)

Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl combine salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Rub each chicken breast with prepared seasoning mix.

Wrap each chicken breast with bacon slices and transfer to prepared baking dish, seam-side down.

Brush each chicken breast with maple syrup glaze.

Crack fresh ground pepper over each chicken breast.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes at 425˚F, or until done, and brush/baste with the juices couple of times during baking. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165˚F. I suggest to start checking for doneness at around the 20-minute mark.

If the bacon is not fully caramelized after cooking, place the baking dish under the broiler for 2 minutes to finish it off.

Remove from oven and let stand 5 to 8 minutes.

Spoon juices over chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve.

Kristen,  I have made about 75 of your recipes, and we keep almost all of them in rotation!  This was my first night of Green Goddess Chicken. I only had bone-in, with-skin thighs.  I marinated them in the marinade, then cooked on the grill outside (we live in Florida).  AMAZING!  So crispy, yet, juicy, and a wonderful and unusual flavor!  SO glad I made a double batch of thighs (we do this with all your recipes, so we have a yummy meal the next day) and tripled the marinade recipe.  We couldn't believe how it added flavor to the meat!  We started naming all the friends we could have over and make this for dinner! Inexpensive, simple and easy!  Brava!  P.S. You gotta try it with skin-on---the marinade does wonderful things to create crispy skin!

I made this for a dinner party and it was a Hit.....so good, thanks
