Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs Cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion Large
  • 2 Carrots Medium, cleaned and cut into pieces
  • 6 Red Potatoes Cleaned and cut into chunks
  • 14 ounces Chicken Broth Low Sodium
  • 14 ounces Tomato Sauce
  • ½ cup White Wine Your favorite variety
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Turn the Instant Pot on "saute".
  • Cut the chicken thighs into chunks and add them to the Instant Pot with the olive oil. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped onion and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Add the chopped carrots and potatoes as well as the chicken broth, white wine, tomato sauce, and Italian seasoning.
  • Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the pressure to "High" for 20 minutes.
  • Let the Instant Pot naturally release for 10 minutes.
  • Release any leftover pressure and open the lid. Add the peas and turn the Instant Pot to "saute" for 2 minutes to heat the peas through.
  • Serve with crusty bread or parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Use your favorite type of white wine.  Pinot Grigio is a good option for this recipe.
  • No need to peel the potatoes as the skin of red potatoes is very thin and easy to eat.
  • This recipe is best served right away.  The longer it sits the mushier the vegetables will get.
