This Instant Pot Garlic Chicken with White Wine & Dijon Mustard Cream Sauce is made in your Instant Pot and is utterly delicious, easy and FAST! Chicken thighs seasoned with smoked Paprika and fresh thyme then drizzled with a luscious white wine sauce with a creamy Dijon mustard!
Instant Pot recipes are SUPER convenient! I thank my lucky stars each day that I purchased my Instant Pot months ago! I couldn’t live without it! I use it ALL THE TIME! And this Instant Pot Garlic Chicken with White Wine & Dijon Mustard Cream Sauce…oh man….
Literally – I make so many recipes in my Instant Pot and it saves me a ton of time!
About a year ago when I was traveling in England, a fellow food blogger friend, Erin from over at Platings and Pairings, posted a recipe for One Skillet Chicken with White Wine and Mustard Cream Sauce. From the moment I saw this recipe, I knew I wanted to try it. This is the first recipe I made when I got back to the states. And like you can probably imagine, it turned out so unbelievably amazing!
But, I wanted to switch it up. I wanted to make it in my Instant Pot. So let’s start with the ingredients and I’ll walk you through each step on how to make this yumminess!
Ingredients
- Chicken Thighs, boneless and skinless
- Dijon Mustard
- Smoked Paprika
- Bacon, pork or turkey
- White Wine
- Whole Grain Mustard
- Sour Cream
- Fresh Thyme
- Mushrooms
- Sun Dried Tomatoes
- Spinach
- Garlic
- Onion
- Olive Oil
Step 1
First, I add olive oil to my Instant Pot and sauté the minced garlic.
Step 2
Next, I chop up the turkey bacon and add in the Smoked Paprika and onions and sauté for a couple of minutes. Ya’ll, my kitchen smells ridiculously amazing during this sauté process! Love the smell of sautéed garlic, onion and bacon! Gosh, I love BACON!
And chicken with bacon?!?!?
It’s one of my favorite combos!
Step 3
Next, I add the chicken thighs on top of the garlic, onions and bacon and I sauté until each side is lightly browned, turning over once to sauté each side of the chicken.
Step 4
I then add in the fresh mushrooms, fresh spinach and sun dried tomatoes on top of the sautéed chicken thighs and continue to let the Instant Pot saute the ingredients for just a few minutes.
Step 5
While the ingredients are in the Instant Pot, I combine the Dijon Mustard, sour cream and whole grain mustard in a separate bowl. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and take a basting brush and coat the chicken thighs in the creamy Dijon Mustard cream sauce. This is one of the BEST and most savory sauces! The flavor combination is intense…in a REALLY good way!
Step 6
After I’m done putting on the marinade, I place each chicken thigh back into the Instant Pot. Then, I pour in the white wine and place the thyme springs in the Instant Pot. From there, I close the lid to seal.
Is your mouth watering yet? It should be!
Step 7
The Instant Pot does its magic from here. I set my Instant Pot to the Poultry setting and after a few minutes it started to lightly steam and my kitchen continued to fill with the most delicious aroma of garlic and dijon chicken.
After the cooking time, I released the pressure and let it depressurize naturally. Once the depressurizing was completely done, my Instant Pot Garlic Chicken with White Wine & Dijon Mustard Cream Sauce is done!
Time to eat!
This Instant Pot Garlic Chicken with White Wine & Dijon Mustard Cream Sauce is so easy to make, full of flavor and gluten free! The other thing I love about this recipe is it’s versatility!

This Instant Pot Chicken with White Wine & Dijon Mustard Cream Sauce is sure to become a repeat on your dinner menu! This one is made in your Instant Pot and is utterly delicious, easy and FAST! Chicken breasts are seasoned with smoked Paprika and fresh thyme then drizzled with a luscious white wine sauce with a creamy Dijon mustard!
- 5 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 cup Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika, smoked
- 4 slices Bacon, pork or turkey
- 1 cup white wine, dry
- 1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 Tablespoon sour cream
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup onions, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Set your Instant Pot to Saute mode. After the Instant Pot gets hot, pour in 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped garlic and onions to the Instant Pot and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Chop the bacon and add the bacon and the Paprika to the Instant Pot and saute with the garlic and onions for 1 minute.
Add the chicken thighs to the Instant Pot and saute until each side is lightly browned, turning over once to saute each side.
Next, add in the fresh mushrooms, fresh spinach and sun dried tomatoes on top of the seared chicken thighs and continue to let the Instant Pot saute the ingredients.
In a bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, sour cream and whole grain mustard. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and take a basting brush and coat the chicken thighs in the creamy Dijon Mustard cream sauce.
Pour the white wine into the Instant pot and stir ingredients well.
Place the chicken thighs back into the Instant Pot. Add in the fresh thyme springs and lock the lid to seal. Close the steam valve.
Set your Instant Pot to the Poultry setting and set your timer to cook for 8 minutes if the chicken is thawed, 15 minutes if the chicken is frozen. Note that during this cooking process, light steam will start escaping the Instant Pot. This is a normal part of the process.
After the timer runs out, move the valve to release the pressure. Once the steam has stopped and it has completely depressurized, remove the chicken from the Instant Pot onto a plate.
Set the Instant Pot back to Saute mode. Once The Instant Pot gets hot and the sauce starts to lightly boil, add 1 Tablespoon of Arrowroot or Cornstarch to 1 Tablespoon of water in a small bowl and mix well. Then, pour the liquid mixture into the Instant Pot and whisk until the sauce becomes thicker.
Add the chicken back to the Instant Pot so the sauce covers the chicken and mix lightly to combine. Turn Your Instant Pot off and you are now ready to serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

I knew I was under-utilizing my Instant Pot, but I had no idea I could create something like this in it. Looks like I need to get cooking!
Yes – the Instant Pot is super convenient!! Let me know how you like this one!
This chicken dish looks beyond amazing! I’m always on the hunt for great recipes and this one tops the list! For this busy mom of two, a quick dish is a must during the week!
You will love it! I hope you enjoy!
I still haven’t even touched an Instant Pot, but my mom just got one. I keep debating if I should get rid of my slow cooker and swap it out for one of these- they’re like magic!
I use both. I will never get rid of my slow-cooker. I use my Instant Pot and my slow cooker for different things!
I love this Instant Pot dish. It sounds so good and seems easy enough too.
Yep – super easy!!
I don’t have an Insta-pot and your recipe makes me want to go out and purchase one. I can see how easy it is to make a delicious dinner. I bet the chicken is moist and tender. You’ve given me something to think about.
You wont regret buying one! Love my Instant Pot!
This is my kind of food and I actually make it the same way just that I like to use the grainy moutarde a l’ancienne and I tend to use more of the mustard paste. I really need to get an instant pot soon, I am craving this now!
It’s a good one for sure!! Enjoy!
Wow, dinner made in half the time! I love how flavorful and delicious this recipe is. Can’t wait to give it a try after the holidays.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy!
I admittedly am not a big fan of chicken, but that dijon mustard cream sauce sounds like a DREAM! We love our InstantPot, too.
Yes, my Instant Pot comes in handy!!
This looks and sounds so delicious — I bought an Instant pot LAST Christmas and still have never used it!
now you have a reason to pull it out! Enjoy!
The flavors in this dish sound completely amazing! My sister has an instant pot that she uses all the time but I still haven’t bought the bullet yet and bought one for myself. But I’m going to have to tell her to try this!
She’ll love it! It’s a great recipe!
This looks really great! An instant pot is on my wishlist for recipes like this!
It’s worth the investment!
I’ve never tried the instant pot before, but it looks so straight forward and simple! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I love that you used Dijon Mustard in the recipe!
I hope you enjoy it!!!
This sound so amazing! 🙂

Thanks!
I love this recipe. However I adjusted the steps to make it flow a bit better for me.
I browned the chickenin batches in olive oil first and then removed to a bowl.
Next browned the bacon and then added garlic and onion.
Next added mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes and sautéed for a bit. Deglazed pot with splash of wine. While adding rest of wine to mustard mix to make sauce
You didn’t mention when to add the paprika so I included it with the sauce.
Put chicken back in pot with juices added sauce and stirred to combine. Adding thyme at the end.
After cooking removed chicken stirred in cornstarch and spinach (didn’t want it to mush up under pressure)
Everything tasted delicious! Thank you for a great recipe! I just need to streamline it a bit to save more time.
Hi Staci! I’m so glad you left me a comment saying you loved the recipe!! Looks like you made this one your own!! I love it!! In regard to the Paprika, it’s in step 3 here: “Chop the bacon and add the bacon and the Paprika to the Instant Pot and saute with the garlic and onions for 1 minute”. Sounds like it turned out AMAZINGLY the way you did it though!! Enjoy!!!
Ah!! So sorry I didn’t see the paprika part! Lol. Skim reading.
You really came up with a fabulous recipe. My whole family loved it. Will share with my mom to cook too!
Thank you so much!!!
Your recipe doesn’t mention when to add the thyme? I just added the whole sprigs with thewine. I hope it works that way.
Also, I see that there are quite a few UP newbies wanting to make this recipe. As with all instant pot cooking, if you are sauteing in the pot before using pressure functions, always be sure to thoroughly deglaze the pot when you add the liquid! This will help you to prevent ingredients from burning to the bottom.
Hi Jennifer! I put the fresh thyme spring in during step 7! I’ll add that to the notes now! Good cooking tip on deglazing the IP!!!
Great! Thank you for updating the recipe. This is DELICIOUS. I shared some leftovers with a friend for lunch, and she asked me to make it again. Thanks for a great recipe!
Hi Jennifer! I’m SO glad you guys loved this dish! It’s one of my favorites!! Thank you for following me and I hope you try more of my yummy recipes!!
Hello! I am new to the IP tool. I am hoping to attempt this recipe – but it states only 1 cup of white wine. My IP, Ultra 60 4th edition, states at least 2 cups of liquid for safety. Any recommendations on how I should modify this recipe? Maybe add 1 cup of chicken broth?
That’s interesting that it’s recommending the 2 cups of liquid. Yes, I’d try adding 1 cup of Chicken Broth. If it’s too liquidy once it’s done, just add more cornstarch and put it on saute mode so it thickens. Let me know how it turns out!!
