Coq au Vin is a classic French dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. Traditionally, it is made with chicken slowly cooked in red wine with bacon, vegetables, and herbs. This version uses an Instant Pot, which allows it to be made quickly and easily, while still maintaining the dish's delicious flavor. The pressure cooker allows the chicken to become tender and juicy while still retaining a crispy skin. This dish can be served over mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up its flavorful sauce.

1.Turn the Instant Pot on 'Sauté'. Add the olive oil and bacon. Cook for 2 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
2.Remove the bacon and set aside.
3.Add the chicken to the Instant Pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until browned.
4.Add the grated carrot, celery, pearl onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Stir to combine.
5.Pour in the dry red wine, cognac, thyme, and parsley.
6.Turn off 'Sauté', and put the lid on the Instant Pot. Set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' for 15 minutes.
7.Release the pressure.
8.Turn the Instant Pot onto 'Sauté'.
9.In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Add to the Instant Pot and stir until the sauce thickens.
10.Salt and pepper to taste.
