INSTANT POT CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:
- Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot® to the saute setting on high (see Cook's Note) and wait for it to say Hot, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the oil and 4 pieces of chicken, skin side-down, to the pot, and sear until the skin is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to sear until the bottom of the chicken is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Line a plate with a paper towel. Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until just golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to the lined plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot, until the onions are just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the carrots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots just begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. (Note: The saute setting on most pots only runs for 30 minutes. If your pot turns off, simply turn it back on the saute setting on high.)
- Add the tomato paste and thyme and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste has softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, the reserved bacon, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and stir to combine. Turn off the saute setting and add the chicken.
- Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 20 minutes. After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid.
- Remove the chicken to a platter. Turn the pot back to the saute setting on high and reduce the sauce until thickened and about 2 cups remain, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with polenta.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts in inner pot of Instant Pot. Add in chicken broth.
- Turn the valve to "seal" and set Instant Pot to manual for 6 minutes. It will take 5-10 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.
- Once the chicken is done cooking, let it do a natural release for 5 minutes (don't touch anything!) and then move the valve to "vent" to release remaining pressure.
- Remove the chicken from the liquid and shred using 2 forks.
- Place shredded chicken in a bowl, along with dressing (use more or less to your liking), Parmesan cheese, parsley, and black pepper.
- Spoon chicken mixture onto buns, top with lettuce, and serve.

Tips:
- For a crispier sandwich, use a sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread. You can also toast the bread before assembling the sandwich.
- If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can cook the chicken in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. Just be sure to cook it until it is cooked through.
- You can use any type of cheese that you like in this sandwich. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- To make a vegetarian version of this sandwich, simply omit the chicken and add more vegetables, such as roasted red peppers or grilled zucchini.
- These sandwiches are best served immediately, but they can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for later.
Conclusion:
Instant Pot Chicken Caesar Sandwiches are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying sandwich that the whole family will love.
