  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 3 medium carrots, sliced
– 3 medium potatoes, diced
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Instant Pot Chicken Stew can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Sauté the Chicken: Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add olive oil and let it heat up. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

3. Add Other Ingredients: Add the carrots, potatoes, and browned chicken back into the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

4. Pressure Cook: Close the lid of the Instant Pot and ensure the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

5. Natural Pressure Release: After the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, carefully switch the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.

6. Thicken the Stew (Optional): If you prefer a thicker stew, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode again, and stir in the slurry. Cook for a few minutes until the stew thickens.

7. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through for about 2 minutes.

8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary.

9. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible stew effortlessly.
