Directions

  1. 1Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt and add them along with the tomato sauce to your pressure cooker, giving it a quick stir to combine.
  2. 2Cover with the lid. Turn to manual (pressure cook) mode. Cook on high (full pressure) for 5 minutes.
  3. 3Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
  4. 4While the chicken is cooking, bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium sized pot. Whisk in polenta and cook, while stirring, until polenta thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pot (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
  5. 5Use two forks to shred the thighs in the tomato sauce. Serve over polenta and enjoy!
