Flavor Enhancements:
- Add fresh herbs: Incorporate diced fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for an aromatic boost.
- Enhance the mustard flavor: Use a grainy mustard or a combination of Dijon and yellow mustard for a more robust mustard flavor.
- Brown the chicken first: Sear the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot before adding the other ingredients to develop a crispy exterior and enhance the flavor.
- Add a touch of heat: For a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of Sriracha sauce.
Texture Improvements:
- Use small potatoes: Baby potatoes cook more evenly and quickly, ensuring a tender texture.
- Cut the potatoes into even sizes: This will ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Crisp up the potatoes: After cooking, drain and return the potatoes to the Instant Pot set to sauté mode. Toss them for a few minutes to create a slightly crispy exterior.
Presentation Ideas:
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives: Add a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs for a vibrant touch.
- Serve with a side salad: Pair the chicken and potatoes with a simple green salad to balance the richness.
- Drizzle with honey mustard sauce: Serve the chicken and potatoes with additional homemade honey mustard sauce for extra flavor.
Other Tips:
- Deglaze the pot: After cooking, scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the Instant Pot using a wooden spatula. This creates a flavorful sauce.
- Adjust the cooking time: If using larger or whole potatoes, increase the cooking time by 3-5 minutes.
- Use a slow cooker alternative: If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
