Instant Pot Chicken Marsala with seared chicken, mushrooms, wine, and bacon is a richly flavored and super easy weeknight meal that\u2019s elegant enough for a party. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Why You’ll Love This Recipe: <\/strong>This is a super flavorful chicken dish that’s much quicker than the stovetop method. It has a short ingredient list and is mostly hands-off, too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This pressure cooker chicken marsala recipe gets a major flavor boost from bacon. It\u2019s always a crowd-pleaser and you can even make it ahead of time for dinner or a party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of the best Instant Pot chicken recipes<\/a>, complete with smoky bacon in a savory chicken broth. Serve it over mashed potatoes<\/a>, rice<\/a>, or with a side of fluffy bread. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The original inspiration for this dish came from my friend Megan, from the blog Megan\u2019s Cookin\u2019<\/a>. I adapted it to make things even faster and more hands-off using an Instant Pot \/ pressure cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need to make the best Instant Pot chicken marsala:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker<\/strong>, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step in making this easy chicken marsala is to brown the bacon<\/strong>, then the chicken thighs. When you render the bacon fat and it crisps up in the pressure cooker, you\u2019ll have wonderfully flavorful fat to cook your chicken in. Don\u2019t pour it out!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Brown the chicken thighs<\/strong> until they\u2019re nicely seared on each side. Next, add your marsala<\/strong> to deglaze the pot and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. These add extra flavor too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you can add the chicken and broth back to the pot<\/strong> and start pressure cooking. While the chicken cooks, you\u2019ll quickly saut\u00e9 your mushrooms on the stove<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, when the pressure cooking time is done, release the pressure and use a slurry of cornstarch and water<\/strong> to thicken the sauce. Combine everything together and serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Browning is an important step in this recipe. It adds a little extra time, but you\u2019ll be glad you did it. When you brown meat, it develops a complex and rich flavor that\u2019s impossible to replicate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to cook the mushrooms on the stove because they\u2019re so full of water. When you pressure cook, no moisture gets to escape, so the mushrooms would just swell up and stay rubbery, rather than golden brown and crisp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use either a dry marsala or a sweet marsala, depending on your preference. We prefer the sweet marsala since we’re cutting it with chicken broth as well, which keeps it the sauce from being too sweet. <\/p> <\/div> We love to serve this hearty Instant Pot chicken dinner with a starch underneath. You could use mashed potatoes<\/a>, pasta, rice<\/a> or any grain you like.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Sure, if you\u2019d like to replace the thighs with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, that will work. Chicken breasts have a shorter cook time at pressure\u2014I’d start with a 7 minute cook time and a 5 minute natural release. To check for doneness, I recommend using an instant-read thermometer. Make sure that chicken thigh or breast is at least 165\u00b0F in the thickest after cooking.<\/p> <\/div> Yes, store any leftover chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat leftovers on the stove or in the microwave to serve.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Try these other family-friendly weeknight recipes next:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
