Chicken with Creamy Artichoke Sauce
| By : |
Chicken and artichokes are a natural pairing, especially when combined in a lemony cream sauce. This recipe makes plenty of sauce, so it’s great served on top of something to catch the goodness, like orzo or rice.

Instructions
- Brush the chicken with
1 tablespoon of the oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Select Sauté and adjust to More/High heat. When the pot is hot, brown the thighs meaty-side down in batches until browned, 4 minutes. (Alternatively, broil the oiled and seasoned chicken thighs on a foil-lined baking sheet until browned, 6 minutes.) Transfer to a plate. - Add the remaining
1 tablespoon oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, add the pancetta and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is tender, 5 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook for 1 minute to burn off some of the alcohol. Press Cancel. - Add the chicken, any accumulated juices from the plate, and the broth to the pot. Put the artichokes on top of the chicken, but do not stir them in. Lock on the lid, select the Pressure Cook function, and adjust to HIGH pressure for 10 minutes. Make sure the steam valve is in the “Sealing” position and that the “Keep Warm” button is off.
- When the cooking time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes and then quick-release the remaining pressure. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken and artichoke hearts to a serving platter and loosely tent with foil.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with
1 tablespoon cold water until smooth. Add the mixture to the pot, select Sauté, and adjust to Normal/Medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and bubbling, 2 minutes. Add the cream and lemon juice to the pot and stir to combine. Press Cancel. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and artichokes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Nice flavour. Recommend cooking the pancetta first before adding onions to get it crispier or use thick smoked bacon instead. We added mushrooms and finely chopped carrots. At the stage of sauce thickening we added gluten free gnocchi instead of corn starch which gave the sauce a very nice consistency.
At what point is the garlic added?
Diane Ayers: The garlic should be added right before the vermouth in step 2, saute for 45 seconds or until fragrant.
I agree about sauteeing the pancetta, or in my case thick cut bacon, before the onions too. I had a hard time thickening up the sauce, but leaving it cool, it thickened on its own. It didnt have enough zest for me, so I added some sun dried tomatoes and that helped. I would also like to try it with mushrooms.
Where do we add the garlic?
Really great, you tweak it and it still comes out great every time!
My first I Pot meal. Made rice first
Made a few mistakes combining vermouth and broth before adding and Ditto cream and lemon juice…curdles
Even so results excellent and wife Pam gave it 5 stars
Will definitely do this again!!
Can boneless chicken breast be used instead of thighs
Hi Rick,
Any substitution may alter the cooking time needed. If that is what you have in the fridge, sure, I would check the temperature of the chicken to ensure it is properly cooked once finished.
For the chicken, is it a total of 4 minutes (2 min per side) or 4 mins each side, or 4 mins just on one side. I know thats prob a dumb question but i wanna make sure i do it right
