Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Combine the seasonings in a medium bowl and season both sides of each chicken thigh.
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté (you can also do this step stovetop) and brown the chicken thighs on each side for 1-2 minutes. This step is optional but seals in flavor.
- Place the trivet inside the Instant Pot, and place the chicken on the trivet.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot (directly over the chicken).
- Seal the cooker and set to HIGH pressure for 12 minutes (see notes if planning to shred).
- When it’s done, release the pressure valve and wait for the pressure to release, then let the chicken rest for another 5 minutes.
Notes
- Storage: Store instant pot chicken thighs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- We browned the thighs using the saute function on the Instant Pot and thought this gave the chicken extra flavor and texture. Browning is totally optional.
- The chicken was cooked nicely at 12 minutes. However, we added 3 minutes to the cooking time to make it more easily shreddable. If shredding, simply shred with 2 forks once cool enough to touch.
