Method
Preparation
- Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, mix the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure every piece is coated well for maximum flavor.
Cooking
- Turn on the Instant Pot and set it to ‘Sauté’ mode. Once it’s hot, add the olive oil.
- When the oil shimmers, add the seasoned chicken to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned on the outside.
- Stir in your mixed vegetables along with the chicken broth. Mix well to combine everything and scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and ensure the valve is set to ‘Sealing’. Set the pot to ‘Pressure Cook’ for 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before switching the valve to ‘Venting’ to release any remaining steam.
- Carefully remove the lid and taste for seasoning. If you desire extra crunch, you can transfer the mixture to a baking dish and broil it in the oven for 5 minutes.
Serving
- Distribute the crunchy chicken and veggies into serving bowls.
- Top with your choice of fresh herbs, a sprinkle of lemon juice, or roasted almonds for extra texture.
Notes
Substitutions include turkey or tofu for a vegetarian version. Always ensure there's enough liquid to prevent the 'Burn' notice on the Instant Pot.
