Pressure-Cooker Chicken, Potatoes & Peppers

Simple ingredients like chicken thighs, potatoes, and bell pepper turn fall-off-the-bone tender in the pressure cooker or Instant Pot in just minutes. A splash of vinegar and a sprinkle of scallion just before serving add zing to this classic family dinner.


Ingredients:

1 ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, scrubbed
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Instructions:

Sprinkle chicken with paprika, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat oil on sauté mode in a multicooker. (No sauté mode? See Tip.) Working in batches, add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add bell pepper and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to soften about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add broth and potatoes. Place the chicken on top of the potatoes. Close and lock the lid. Cook at high pressure for 8 minutes.

Release the pressure. Stir in vinegar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve topped with scallion.
