Instant Pot Chicken and Vegetables

Juicy herb-seasoned chicken thighs are cooked in broth with nourishing, fresh veggies.

Ingredients :

  • 2 pounds bone in chicken thighs, drumsticks, breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes
  • ½ red onion cut into pieces
  • 2 carrots cut into large pieces
  • 8 mushrooms halved
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions :

  • Turn a 6QT Instant Pot to saute. Season chicken skin with salt & pepper.
  • Add olive oil to the Instant Pot and brown chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes per side or until browned. This may need to be done in a few batches.
  • Pour broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot and scrape up any brown bits in the bottom to avoid the burn notice. Add the trivet to the bottom.
  • Toss vegetables with 2 teaspoons olive oil, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Place in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Place chicken on top of the vegetables.
  • Set instant pot to high pressure and cook for 13 minutes. Natural release 5 minutes and quick release pressure any remaining pressure.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
