- 1.4 oz white wine

Steps
Clean the vegetables and cut them into medium-sized chunks.
As for the mushrooms, I used frozen ones. Leave them in the freezer until it’s time to put them in the pot.
If you use fresh ones, clean them well and slice them.
At this point, set up the electric pressure cooker.
Pour three-four tablespoons of oil into the pressure cooker basin.
Set the Grill menu for 10 minutes and wait for it to reach the temperature.
I left the preset temperature for the type of program, but you can increase or decrease it.
Insert the chicken thighs and the two garlic cloves. Sauté the meat on all sides.
Turn very often and keep an eye on the garlic; when it becomes too colored, remove it.
Use a wooden or silicone ladle so you don’t risk scratching the pan.
Adjust the salt and sprinkle with sweet paprika (if you don’t like it, replace it with black pepper).
After finishing the “grill” program, reset everything and set it for 10 minutes on “fry” mode.
Insert all the vegetables including the still frozen mushrooms and let them cook.
After 5 minutes pour about 1.4 oz of white wine and let it evaporate.
Continue for the remaining 5 minutes, stirring often with a ladle.
After the “fry” menu, pour half a glass of water and set the “stew” menu for 10 minutes.
Place the lid in the safety position by hermetically sealing the knob and valve.
Let it cook WITHOUT TOUCHING.
Once the “stew” program is finished, the pressure cooker Olla alerts us with a voice command.
Open the valve to release the steam without opening the lid and with maximum care.
ONLY when the steam has completely escaped, remove the lid with a cloth.
When removing the lid, do not drain the water deposited on the edges inside the basin.
At this point ONLY IF NECESSARY, reprogram “sauté” mode at 200 degrees for about 5 minutes.
The vegetables may release more liquids than expected, especially if frozen.
In that case, to dry the liquids a bit, sauté the whole thing WITHOUT LID for just 5-6 minutes.
Your stewed chicken thighs in a pressure cooker are ready to be served at the table.
Soft, succulent, and with a delicious creamy sauce that is truly irresistible!
I hope you enjoyed this recipe! Bon appétit to everyone!!
Those who do not have an electric pressure cooker can cook on the stove without problems.
Pour the oil into a large pan and add the garlic cloves.
Sauté for a few minutes and then add the chicken thighs. Adjust the salt.
Sauté well on all sides, turning often for about 5-10 minutes.
Then add the vegetables and cook for about 10 minutes.
Deglaze with white wine. When it has evaporated, add water and cover with a lid.
Continue cooking, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked.
