  • Step 2

    Mix garlic, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, and smoked paprika together in a small bowl. Stir into onions. Place chicken on top of the onions.

  • Step 3

    Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  • Step 4

    Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Transfer chicken and onions to a plate. Select Saute function to bring juices to a simmer, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Sift flour into the pot and stir until no lumps remain and sauce has thickened a bit, about 5 minutes. Add sour cream by the spoonful, stirring to incorporate. Cancel Saute function. Return chicken and onions to the pot. Select Warm function to heat through, about 5 minutes. Serve.

    • Cook's Notes:

    You can use white or yellow onions. If you chop them into large pieces, they hold up better.

    Feel free to substitute any spice or seasoning blend for poultry seasoning.

    Make sure to release pressure naturally; do not rush, as this will make the chicken rubbery and tough.
