Instant Pot Quick Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs. Sometimes you just need some boneless, skinless chicken, you know? Something to top a salad, go in a sandwich, or as a quick weeknight main dish. The most important part of this recipe is skipping the white meat.

Dark meat has flavor, and does not overcook in the high heat of a pressure cooker. Unlike bland, boring, stringy chicken breast. My local grocery started carrying boneless skinless chicken thighs, and I never looked back. My singing the praises of the dark side of the chicken paid off! The other important part of the recipe: brown the chicken thighs. Searing the thighs before pressure cooking adds a lot of flavor, and is worth the extra time. I understand if you want to skip the browning, but – please, try it, at least once.

My concession to speed is browning the thighs on one side only. It gives me the complex flavors of browning, without spending a lot of time on it. Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set half of the chicken thighs in the pot, smooth side down, and let them cook, without moving, until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes.
