Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs approximately 9
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • pinch salt
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 large carrots cut into thick matchsticks
  • ¾ pound 320 g new potatoes, halved
  • ½ onion coarsely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks
  • ¾ cup 10% cream "Creamo"
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup fresh dill
  • 1 green onion chopped

Instructions
 

  • Combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Coat chicken thighs in the flour mixture.
  • Heat 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil in the Instant Pot on Saute. Brown 3 chicken thighs at a time for 4 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate.
  • While browning the chicken, prepare the vegetables.
  • Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and saute ½ onion and 2 celery sticks coarsely chopped for 3 to 5 minutes - scraping the browned bits off the bottom. Add ½ cup water if necessary to avoid stuck brown pieces.
  • Add the chicken back to the pot with ¾ cup 10% cream ("Creamo") and ½ cup water.
  • Stack a wire rack on top of the chicken. Layer in a silicone sling. Combine the carrots and potato halves in the metal baking container with a silicone lid with ½ cup water.
  • Seal the Instant Pot and set it to cook on Manual for 10 minutes on Normal/High pressure.
  • Chop up ½ cup fresh dill and 1 green onion.
  • Wait 10 minutes after the cooking time completes to do a natural pressure release. Unpack everything from the Instant Pot. Set aside the vegetables. Remove the chicken pieces to a casserole.
  • Strain the curdled cream-onion-celery mixture in a fat strainer. Put the onions and celery in the blender. Add the curdled liquid and discard any fat. Blend until smooth.
  • Arrange the carrots and potatoes in the casserole. Top with onions and dill.
  • Pour the cream mixture on top. Serve extra sauce in a gravy boat.
