You can never have too many chicken recipes in your arsenal, and these budget-friendly chicken thighs are perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a homemade mushroom sauce and is particularly tasty when served over hot cooked rice, noodles, or pasta.

Garlic and parsley are the simple seasonings in the mushroom sauce. While it can seem rich, the wine and chicken stock thin it out perfectly, and you can use half-and-half for a lighter cream option. Be sure to choose a dry white wine (chardonnay is a good choice) to avoid adding too much sweetness to the sauce.

Instant Pot Chicken Thighs and Rice

While the dish calls for boneless chicken thighs, feel free to use boneless chicken breasts for a lighter meal. Bone-in chicken works, too, but will need to cook a little longer. No matter what cut of chicken you use, be sure to cook the chicken until the internal temperature reads a minimum of 165 F on an instant-read thermometer.

For a complete meal, serve the chicken alongside simple side dishes. Glazed carrots, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad, along with biscuits, will complement this dish perfectly. Try to choose cooked food that will bake in the oven while you cook the chicken on the stovetop.
