Instant Pot Balsamic Chicken



Instant pot balsamic chicken yields tender pieces of meat and crispy skin. A balsamic vinegar and tomato reduction is drizzled on each piece of chicken for a savory sweet sauce.

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, (680g, 4 pieces)

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
black pepper, as needed for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil, (15ml)
1/2 cup yellow onion, (66g) 1/4-inch dice
1 cup diced tomatoes, (114g) seeded and 1/2-inch dice
1 teaspoon minced garlic, (3g)
1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth, (120ml)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, (60ml)
2 teaspoons chopped thyme, (2g)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, (5g)

Instructions
Trim any excess fat and skin from the chicken thighs. Dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot. Press "Adjust" and select "More" setting. Once the display says "Hot", add the olive oil and allow to heat.
Once the oil is hot add the chicken skin side down. Saute without moving the chicken until it is golden in color, 7 minutes. Flip chicken over and cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate.

Add onions and tomatoes, saute until tender, 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Add chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and thyme, stir to combine.
Add chicken to the pot. Place lid on Instant Pot and close. Make sure the steam release handle is positioned to "sealing". Press the "Keep Warm/ Cancel" button.
Select the "manual" setting on "high pressure". Use the "- or +" button to adjust the time to 10 minutes.
It will take some time (about 10 minutes) for the pot to gather steam and pressurize. You may see some traces of steam exit from the float valve as it is pressurizing.
Once the display indicates "On" and begins the countdown at "10", and beeps when the cycle is complete.
Cover your hand with an oven mitt or towel to carefully quick release the pressure from the pot, sliding the steam release handle to the "Venting" position, releasing all of the steam until the float valve drops down.
Carefully open the lid. Press the "Keep Warm/ Cancel" button.

Last year, Bitcoin led a motley pack of so-called cryptocurrencies in one of the great booms in market history, soaring over 2,000 percent to its peak. Since then, it’s led an epic bust that rivals the dot-com era stock market collapse. But there are still plenty of true believers. And as the dust settles, investors and regulators find themselves still grappling with questions first raised when Bitcoin broke into public consciousness five years ago: What exactly is it? How do imitators like Ethereum, Ripple’s XRP and Bitcoin Cash work? Should I buy it? Where do cryptocurrencies fit into the future of money? Here’s a guide for those feeling at sea in these turbulent digital waters. 1. What’s been happening?
