Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Combine the seasonings in a small bowl. Rub chicken with seasoning. Turn the Instant Pot on Saute mode and allow it to warm for a minute.
  • Add olive oil and seasoned chicken. Cook chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the chicken thighs to a plate.
  • Turn the Instant Pot off and add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot. Use a scraper to remove all of the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Place the trivet into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Add the chicken to the trivet.
  • Close and lock the lid securely and close the vent. Set the Instant Pot on Manual Pressure to high for 8 minutes.
  • Once the Instant Pot has finished, allow a natural release for 10 minutes, and then carefully release the remaining pressure. 
  • Once the pin has dropped you can safely remove the lid. Serve with your favorite sides. 

Notes

  1. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. 
  2. Add different seasonings to add even more flavor. 
  3. Serve with rice, potatoes, corn, salad, and more.
