Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 onion diced, small
- 3 carrot cut into ½-inch rounds
- 3 celery diced, stalks
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon rosemary
- 2 leaves bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 5 golden potato peeled (optional) and quartered, medium
- 32 ounces chicken broth (4 cups)
- 1 cup green peas or canned, frozen
- ½ cup half and half
Instructions
- Add a little oil to the pot of the Instant Pot and in sauté mode, cook the chicken pieces for 5 minutes, frequently stirring, until it's mostly cooked through.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients, minus the cream and the peas, inside the pressure cooker. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, seal, and close the release valve. Cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes.
- Once the cycle is finished, allow it to sit for 10 minutes on natural release. Carefully open the pressure valve to release the steam away from you. Remove the lid and stir in the green peas and cream. Place the lid back on and wait 3 minutes for the peas to heat through.
- Give the chicken stew a quick stir, and ladle it into a bowl. Serve it homemade rolls or thick, crusty bread.

- You can also use 1 ½ teaspoons of poultry seasoning as a substitute for the fresh herbs.
