Ingredients

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 medium carrots, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup diced onion
4 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon multi-colored whole peppercorns
¼ cup white wine
4 cups water, or as needed

Directions

Place chicken breasts and thighs in a pressure cooker. Add carrots, onions, celery, salt, and peppercorns. Pour wine over top. Add water, 1 cup at a time, until it covers the chicken by at least 1/2 inch, but no more than 1 inch. You may not need all the water or you may need more; this will depend on your pressure cooker dimensions.
Secure the lid and heat over medium-high heat until the first whistle sounds. Put 10 minutes on a timer and wait.
Turn off the heat and release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
