This recipe is perfect for an instant pot or slow cooker. Throw everything in a pot and simmer until tender. Usually when making a braise I sear the chicken first which will bring out even more delicious caramelized flavors but sometimes we are lazy and just want to just throw everything in a pot and walk away. This is some serious comfort food and should be eaten over rice.
