This is serious comfort food. The flavors are amazing together and they go perfectly with some delicious homemade mashies. So, so good! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

-4 large chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in

-salt and pepper

-3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

-1/3 cup water.

-1/2 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped

-1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives

-1/4 cup cooking wine (white or sherry)

-1 Tbs packed brown sugar

-1.5 tsp dried oregano leaves

Directions:

Set the IP on saute. When hot, add the oil. Score the thighs and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the hot oil and quickly sear on both sides until nice and golden brown. Turn off the IP and remove the chicken.

Quickly add the garlic and cook in the still hot oil for one minute, scraping all the brown bits off the bottom. Add the water, apricots, olives, wine, sugar, and oregano. Give it a good stir. 

Place the rack that came with your IP on top of the sauce mixture. Carefully arrange the chicken on top of that.

Cover with the lid, with the valve in the sealed position. Cook on manual HIGH pressure for 10 minutes.

Do a quick release, then set the IP to saute. Cook, as is, for 3-4 minutes, or until sauce thickens.

Serve immediately on top of yummy homemade mashies. YUM!! Enjoy!
