pgray's chicken kitchen sink stew

ingredients

  • 1lb bone in chicken thighs (or more if you like) (optionally brine/marinade night before)
  • enough pepper and chili powder to cover one side of each thigh
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • .5 lb crimini mushrooms (roughly diced)
  • 2 large yellow onions (roughly diced)
  • 1 large shallot (roughly diced)
  • garlic (as much as you want)
  • 1 large leek (chopped to 1/4 inch width)
  • 3 celery sticks (chopped to 1/4 inch width)
  • 3-4 yukon gold potatos (roughly diced)
  • half green cabbage (roughly diced)
  • 1.5 quarts chicken broth (or enough to submerge everything)

steps

  • heat pot with oil until starting to ripple
  • place chicken skin down in oil
  • spice the chicken with pepper and chili powder until lightly covered
  • as chicken starts to look cooked on the edges, flip over each piece
    • if the skin sticks, don't worry
    • try to scrape pot a bit as it sticks
  • remove chicken from pot and set aside
    • chicken should be just cooked on the outside but if you use a fork be raw inside
    • lightly try to scrape any really big and loose bits off the pot but leave anything currently stuck
  • throw mushrooms in and add oil if needed
  • throw onions in as mushrooms get very dark and soft
  • consistently stir onions until soft and starting to brown
  • make a space for shallot to hit pot directly and throw in
  • spread shallot out and move onions/mushrooms over top of it
  • make a space for garlic, let oil pool, and fry garlic for a short period
  • mix all together
  • make a space and throw in celery and leek
  • move mushroom/onion/shallot/garlic over top of celery and leeks for a short period
  • make space for potatos and throw in
  • mix all together
  • make space for cabbage and throw in
  • mix all together
  • pour half quart of chicken stock in
  • make a space for each chicken thigh equidistantly space around outside of pot
  • pour chicken stock in until level with top of veggies/chicken
  • slow cook
    • low simmer if on stovetop
    • high slow cook in instant pot

guidance

I've been doing this recipe in different size instant pots. I like being able to saute first and then combine everything on the slow cook mode.
