side until brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken. Add
the remaining tablespoon olive oil and cook the portobello mushrooms in a single
layer until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Add the browned
portobello mushrooms to the vegetable mixture.
Arrange half the chicken thighs in the ceramic pot of the Cuisinart
