Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 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.
    4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • Heat a 6-qt Instant Pot to Sauté and add avocado oil. Once it indicates that the pot is "hot" add the chicken thighs and brown on both sides for 3 minutes each. Remove from the pot and set aside.
    2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 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. 
    1/2 onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup bone broth
  • Select the "Cancel" function and add the rest of the ingredients, except chicken and olives, and stir together. 
    8 oz mushrooms, 1 carrot, 1 green bell pepper, 1 14-oz can of diced tomatoes, 1 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tbsp fresh parsley leaves, 1/2 tsp fresh thyme, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 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!
