Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup bone broth or chicken broth
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 carrot sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 14-oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley leaves chopped
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives optional

Instructions

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a 6-qt Instant Pot to Sauté and add 2 tbsp of avocado oil.
  • Once it indicates that that pot is "hot" add the chicken thighs and brown on both sides for 3 minutes each. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  • Add onions and garlic to the Instant Pot and cook for 3 minutes. 
  • Pour in bone broth. Use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pot and scrap up the browned bits on the bottom. 
  • Select the "Cancel" function and add the rest of the ingredients, except chicken and olives, and stir together. 
  • Place the chicken thighs in the sauce.
  • Secure the lid, make sure the pressure valve is set to "Sealing."
  • Cook on Manual for 10 minutes, and let it naturally release pressure for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Stir in kalamata olives, if using, and taste to adjust season.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice, rice, gluten free pasta, zoodles, spaghetti squash, or enjoy alone!
