Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups carrots, sliced
- 1.5 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces—dice the onion, slice the carrots, and cube the potatoes.
- Sautéing Time: Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode. Add olive oil and once hot, sauté the onions and garlic for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Brown That Chicken: Add boneless chicken thighs to the pot and brown for about 5 minutes on each side until golden.
- Add the Vegetables: Stir in sliced carrots and cubed potatoes along with dried thyme and oregano.
- Pour in Broth: Pour in chicken broth until all ingredients are submerged (about 4 cups). Scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pot.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid and set it to 'Manual' high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow natural release for another 10 minutes before releasing any remaining steam.
- Serve: Transfer stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
