- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

- 1 pound baby potatoes (sliced in halves)
- 3 carrots (peeled and sliced into 1-2 inch pieces)
Instructions
- Press on the SAUTE setting, then heat the oil, season the chicken thighs and brown them well. Start by chicken skin side down.
- Add water to deglaze the pot and with a wooden spoon remove any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Switch off the saute setting.

- Season with more salt and pepper, cover with the lid and make sure that the valve is in sealing position.

Notes
- Tip 1: The cooking time depends on the size of the chicken thighs you’re using. With smaller boneless thighs, pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. Medium size, 8 minutes, and large thighs will need around 10 minutes.
- Tip 2: If in the end, you feel like there’s too much liquid, you can reduce it down a little on the SAUTE setting.
