Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil or oil of choice
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic chopped
  • 3 Chicken Thighs deboned
  • 2 Bell Peppers chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Paprika
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups Water or Stock
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 2 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt
  • Parsley optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the oil in the IP and select the saute setting.
  • Add the chopped onion and saute for 2 minutes, then add the garlic for 1 minute.
  • Turn off the saute setting and add the thighs, peppers and seasoning.
    I like to stir the tomato paste and greek yogurt into the broth before adding them all to the IP.
  • Secure the lid and select the "soup/stew" setting for 10 minutes.
  • Natural release.

Notes

Natural Release for Juicy Chicken: After pressure cooking, let the Instant Pot naturally release the pressure for 10-15 minutes before doing a quick release. This helps the chicken retain moisture and stay tender and juicy.
