Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together salt, pepper, and orange, lemon, and lime zest.
- Sprinkle chicken all over with zest mixture. Set aside, or refrigerate overnight.
- Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to saute; add olive oil. When oil is hot, add chicken.
- Cook chicken just until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from Instant Pot; set aside.
- Press Cancel to reset Instant Pot. Add water to Instant Pot; stir to loosen browned bits.
- Place trivet in Instant Pot; top with chicken. Place top on Instant Pot; twist to seal and lock. Turn Steam Release Valve to “sealing.”
- Set Instant Pot to cook at High Pressure for 10 minutes. After cooking is complete, manually release the pressure by turning the Steam Release Valve to “venting.”
- Remove chicken from Instant Pot; let cool 5 minutes. Squeeze reserved citrus over chicken, if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to double this recipe for a larger yield. Cook the chicken in batches to ensure proper browning.
- This chicken is delicious if seasoned just before cooking, but it tastes even better the longer you can let sit with the citrus-salt rub on it. Refrigerate if letting sit for more than 30 minutes.
- If you don’t have three kinds of citrus, you can use whatever you have on hand.
