Step 1

In the stainless steel insert of your Instant Pot, mix together the garlic, salt, basil, lemon zest, chicken stock, chicken bouillon, lemon juice and white wine.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat in the sauce.

Step 3

Scatter the margarine cubes over top, then place the lid on the Instant Pot.

Step 4

Set the steam release handle to the 'sealing' position, and select 'pressure cook' ('manual' on older models) for 10 minutes at high pressure.

Step 5

Once the cook cycle has completed, release the pressure immediately (quick pressure release) by carefully setting the steam release handle into the 'venting' position.

Step 6

Stir in sliced lemon and enjoy.

Step 7

At this point, you may transfer the chicken thighs to a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown all over. This is completely optional but gives the chicken a nice golden color.

Step 8

Once cooked, chicken may be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Step 9

You may also portion out with rice and steamed vegetables in meal prep containers and freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 10

Freezer Meal: To make Instant Pot 'dump' meals, assemble all ingredients except for the lemon juice in a gallon sized freezer bag, meal prep container or reusable silicone bag.

Step 11

Squeeze out as much air as possible, and freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 12

Thaw completely before cooking as directed above.
