  1. I am also interested in not using flour or cornstarch, like comment by #1 Fan. There was no answer given though.
    I am on Keto diet, and would love to make this recipe lower caThank-you. you.

    1. Yes! This recipe will still work without any starch, it will just be a thinner sauce. You can try a tiny bit of xantham gum, or an equal amount of almond or coconut flour. I haven't tried it, it might be a little grainy, but should still taste good.

  2. Could skin-on/bone-in chicken thighs work with this? I'm about to try my Instant Pot for the *first* time, and that's what's in my fridge! Thank you!

    1. Yes, definitely! I might add 2 minutes depending on the size of the thighs (if they are on the larger side, cook for 12 minutes.) Good luck with your first recipe, not that you'll need it!

  3. This was delicious but i must have done something wrong, it turned out like shredded chicken. The chicken fell apart and i could not thicken the cooking juices with 2 tbs of cornstarch, even after TBS it was still a bit watery. What did i do wrong.

  4. Looks wonderful! How can you go wrong with garlic, chicken and mushrooms? Would it do well with pasta?

    1. How about Xanthum Gum instead of Corn Starch to thicken with? I have been doing low carb for 7months with great success and I don't use it or flour unless it is Almond flour or Coconut flour
