Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 cups chicken broth
1 packet onion soup mix
1 cup grape juice
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place chicken thighs in the Instant Pot and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine chicken broth, onion soup mix, and grape juice; pour over the chicken.
Seal the lid, set to high pressure, and cook for 15 minutes.
Perform a natural release for five minutes, then quick‑release any remaining pressure; remove chicken and set aside.
Turn to sauté mode, melt butter, and whisk in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to thicken the gravy.
Shred the chicken, return it to the pot, and stir to coat evenly with the gravy.

Notes

For a richer flavor
add a splash of soy sauce during the thickening step. Adjust seasoning after thickening for best taste.
