In this version of chicken en cocotte, tangy-sweet sliced apples and savory shallots add depth to the cider-based sauce. A crisp, red-skinned apple such as Honeycrisp or Fuji works best; we leave the skins on to add color. The chicken is cooked on the steam rack with handles that was included with the Instant Pot; the long handles make it easy to lower the bird into the pot and remove it when it’s done.

Tip

Don't use a chicken larger than 3½ pounds or it will be too large to allow heat to circulate, causing uneven cooking. Don't worry if the chicken isn't completely done after 16 minutes of pressure cooking and a 20-minute natural pressure release. Simply reseal pot and pressure cook for a few minutes more following the directions in the recipe.
