Ingredients (18)

  • 20 oz skinless boneless chicken thighs cubed
  • 18 oz potatoes cubed
  • 10 oz carrots cubed
  • 2 oz celery chopped
  • 2 cup unsalted chicken broth
  • 2 oz onions chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp garlic chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp traditional Dijon mustard
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Heat your Instant Pot by using the “sauté” function. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp butter, 2 oz onion, 1 tbsp garlic, and 2 oz celery to the pot. Stir fry for 2 minutes.

2

Add 20 oz chicken, 1 tsp paprika, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tsp mustard, and 1 tbsp cornstarch and stir every couple minutes until the onions become translucent, about 2 - 3 minutes.

3

Add 18 oz potatoes and 10 oz carrots and give everything a stir.

4

Pour 2 cups of chicken broth into the pot. Secure the lid. Set the “stew meat” mode for 12 minutes.

5

When the time is up, release the pressure naturally. Open the lid and cook for another 10 minutes at “sauté” mode until thickened.

6

Transfer the chicken stew to serving plates. Garnish with parsley. Serve hot.
