Pre-heat a 6-quart multi-function pressure cooker using the BROWN or SAUTE setting.

Season the chicken thighs with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the oil to the cooker and brown the chicken thighs on both sides. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set it aside.

Add the onion and carrot to the cooker and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, basil and oregano and continue to sauté for a minute. Stir in the tomato paste. Cook for another minute and then pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the cooker. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, balsamic vinegar and bay leaf. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and return the browned chicken thighs to the pot, submerging them in the liquid. Lock the lid in place.

Pressure-cook on HIGH for 10 minutes.

Release the pressure using the QUICK-RELEASE method and carefully remove the lid. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Add the dried pasta to the pressure cooker, gently pushing the pasta nests into the sauce. Return the lid to the cooker and lock into place.

Pressure-cook on HIGH for 3 minutes.

While the pasta is cooking, shred the chicken thighs with 2 forks. When the time is up, release the pressure using the QUICK-RELEASE method and carefully remove the lid. Gently stir the pasta and add the shredded chicken to the cooker. Season once again with salt and pepper and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
