Let's Cook

Step 1.
Press Sauté on the Instant Pot and adjust the heat to More. Add the olive oil and sliced cremini mushrooms, cooking uncovered for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to brown.
-
Step 2.
Stir in the thinly sliced onion and garlic cloves, cooking until the onions soften, about 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
-
Step 3.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Add the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Step 4.
Add the bone-in skinless chicken thighs, pressing them into the sauce. Cover and lock the lid. Cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. Once done, use the quick release method to release the pressure. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Press Sauté and adjust the heat to More. Stir in the thinly sliced red bell pepper and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chopped rosemary and balsamic vinegar. Return the chicken to the pot to warm through, if desired. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and prepared polenta.
