Mediterranean Chicken Thighs recipe with just a few ingredients and transform ordinary chicken into a meal that everyone will love. Onion, Kalamata olives and Italian seasoning give our roasted red pepper cooking soup Mediterranean flair. Baby potatoes cook along with boneless chicken thighs and soak in the fabulous flavour from the sauce. Everything cooks together in the Instant Pot which means you spend more time enjoying this Instant Pot chicken meal than on cleanup.
1 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, fat trimmed
1 medium red onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
16 oz baby white potatoes, cut in half
¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
2 tsp. Italian seasoning crushed
1 can Campbell's Roasted Red Pepper Cooking Soup 10½ oz
½ cup chicken stock
1 Tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Layer the chicken, onion, potatoes, olives and Italian seasoning in a 6 qt Instant Pot®. Pour the soup and stock over the chicken and vegetables (the order is important, so don't stir until after the cooking is done).
Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve. Pressure cook on High pressure, setting the timer to 10 minutes (timer will begin counting down once pressure is reached - it takes about 15 minutes). When done, press Cancel and use the quick release method to release the pressure.
Stir in the lemon juice. Season to taste. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.
