In reply to Rich.

Hi Rich – Glad you enjoyed it. Supermarket cooking wine is not a real Marsala wine and often contains corn syrup (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/23/dining/marsala-wine.html), you’ll want to use a dry Marsala wine for this recipe. Although if you do want it sweeter, you could try a sweet Marsala..

I used Marsala cooking wine. The sauce wasn’t as sweet as I had expected. Should I have used Marsala dessert wine? It was still good.

In reply to Marie Knudsen. That's a great question! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts will work—I'd start with a 7 minute cook time and a 5 minute natural release.

Can you use chicken breasts instead of thighs? What adjustments need to be done time-wise?

Hi Gem – no need to adjust the time. In the pressure cooker, as long as the meat isn’t thicker or thinner, the cook time remains the same. Enjoy!

If I decrease the recipe to 2 pounds of chicken thighs, how woul I adjust the cooking time? TIA. You have such great recipes! Happy Mother’s Day.

I really LOVED this. I could not find peppered bacon so I put pepper on both sides of the bacon before I put in the small food processor to chop into small pieces. Also I waited until Sunday to buy the stuff to make it, so I could not find Marsala wine. (Wine store was closed.)
So I used Red Cooking wine from Walmart. But this was still amazing served over a bed of tri-color quinoa. I am going to share this recipe on FB so others will have the link to Pressure Cooking Today website. All of the recipes I have gotten from there have been really excellent. This is really good eating.

I was wondering what to do with my chicken thighs today, so I thought I’d come here and check. I was able to score four and only four slices of peppered bacon from the butcher counter at my local grocery store. I was in the wine aisle and found both sweet and dry Marsala wine, and once again your excellent directions came to the rescue. Followed the recipe exactly except that I did add one clove of garlic for a minute before deglazing because, well, garlic. This was so delicious that even my husband, who doesn’t like much, told me how good it was, and is excited for leftovers. I think next time I might use regular bacon instead of peppered, but there will be a next time! No wonder I tell all my friends that I’ve never had a bad recipe from your site!
