Instant Pot Chicken and Vegetables
Description
This recipe uses an Instant Pot to create a one-pot chicken and vegetable dish. Chicken pieces are seasoned and browned in olive oil using the saute function to develop flavor and color. Chicken broth is added to deglaze the pot while scraping browned bits to avoid burning. Vegetables like baby potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and red onions are tossed with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder before being layered under the chicken.
Cooking under high pressure for 13 minutes softens the vegetables while cooking the chicken through. A natural pressure release followed by a quick release prevents overcooking. The dish can be finished by sprinkling parmesan cheese and serving hot. Optionally, broiling chicken briefly after cooking can crisp the skin.
Optionally broil chicken 2-3 minutes after cooking for crisp skin.

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
