This Porcini Mushroom Braised Chicken from your Instant Pot can be ready in less than 1 hour. And, the dried porcini mushrooms and flavor-layering cooking techniques give it a rich brown color that will look like you spent hours laboring over a classically prepared demi-glace. This sauce cries for a mashed potato if you want a home style meal, and is paired nicely with almost any simple steamed or roasted vegetable. Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pecans maybe?
