Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• In a large heavy saute pan, heat the pan over a medium-high flame and spray with cooking oil.
• Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
• Add the peppers, onion and garlic to the pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 3-4 minutes, then add mushrooms and cook another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomatoes, broth, and oregano. Cover the pan and bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Continue simmering over low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Add the chopped basil 5 minutes before sauce is done.
• Serve over 1 cup pasta.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or set the Instant Pot to saute and spray with oil; saute the onions over medium heat until golden, stirring 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and divide in two.
• In a large bowl, combine half of the sautéed onions with the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, 2 tbsp of the parsley, milk, 3/4 tsp salt and black pepper. Gently shape into 20 meatballs.
• In a blender combine the water, sour cream, flour, tomato paste, boullion, Worcestershire sauce and paprika, blend until smooth. 
• Heat the skillet or Instant Pot back on saute, add the oil and brown half of the meatballs without disturbing (in two batches) about 2 minutes until no longer sticks, turn and brown an additional 2 minutes, set aside on a dish and repeat with remaining meatballs.
• Place all the meatballs and remaining onion into the Instant pot, Slow Cooker or a large saucepan and pour the sauce over the meatballs along with the thyme and mushrooms.
• For the Instant Pot:Cook on high pressure 10 minutes. Let the pressure release on it’s own. When done, discard thyme, add the chopped parsley and serve over your favorite noodles. *see note above about avoiding burn notice.
• For the stove top:Add 2 tbsp water, bring to a boil then cook covered on low 20 to 25 minutes. When done, discard thyme, add the chopped parsley and serve over your favorite noodles.
• For slow cooker:Cook on low 6 to 8 hours. When done, discard thyme, add the chopped parsley and serve over your favorite noodles.
