Dark meat has more flavor than white meat, but seasoning is a must. You can simply season it with salt and pepper, but I recommend adding more flavors. In this recipe here I’ve used paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
But feel free to use your favorite seasonings, I love this homemade fajita seasoning, Italian seasoning is also great, and if you’re feeling adventurous then go for Middle Eastern flavors with this easy shawarma seasoning recipe.

Now I have to be honest with you, you’re gonna get crispy skin in the Instant Pot. But do this simple step as it’s totally worth it, just transfer the chicken thighs onto a baking dish and crisp them in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes, or even easier, in the Air Fryer !
When you brown the chicken, then deglaze the pot, you get very taste flavorful liquid that can be used to make gravy.
After pressure cooking, and removing the chicken thighs from the Instant Pot, press on the SAUTE setting and thicken the liquids with a cornstarch slurry (1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with room temperature water), whisk until the gravy is thickened and nice.

Serve with rice! I love serving juicy chicken with rice and gravy and it’s also great for meal prep. You can make white rice in the Instant Pot, or serve with Instant Pot brown rice.
For flavored rice recipes, check out my turmeric rice, mushroom rice, for Middle Eastern spin go for vermicelli rice, or jeera (cumin) rice for an Indian flavor.
Love potatoes? These Instant Pot buttered potatoes are absolutely amazing and go so well with chicken! And it’s also a great idea to add more vegetables such as Instant Pot steamed broccoli, Instant Pot green beans, and even Instant Pot corn on the cob!

Lately, if I need to come up with a quick, easy dinner, there’s about a 90% chance I’m going to cook these Instant Pot chicken thighs.

If you’re new to the Instant Pot, this one is nearly impossible to get wrong. The core recipe is beyond simple: lightly browned chicken thighs cook atop a bed of onions and peppers then pressured cooked until tender and juicy. Combined with the chicken juices, the onion and pepper mixture creates an unexpectedly flavourful and bold sauce that will both surprise and thrill you. And as good as it is the night you make it, the leftovers are even better the next day. I’m telling you, these chicken thighs are amazing and have your weeknight dinner covered.

In general, boneless, skinless Chicken thighs are my go-to for quick weeknight dinners. Throw them in an Instant Pot, and they will be more tender, juicier, and flavourful than you thought possible. Here’s why you will love this recipe:
I need to be really clear on the minimal amount of liquid needed for this recipe because people get very heated about this. Yes the Instant Pot generally requires liquid to get to pressure, and to avoid the dreaded burn warning. But, for this recipe, and for many others, you do not need a lot of liquid. The chicken and vegetables release plenty of liquid to make everything work just fine.
The amount of sauce you see in the photos of the finished dish was achieved with only 4 tablespoons of water added. In fact, I usually use way less, or none. Don’t feel tempted to use more or you will have a very thin, watery sauce.

The only reason I add those 4 tablespoons of water, is to scrape up the browned bits left behind from browning the chicken. Doing this will 100% prevent the burn warning. Trust.
Many readers continue to express concerns about the small amount of liquid this recipe calls for. Here is an explanation you might find helpful by Urvashi Pitre — a bestselling Instant Pot cookbook author:
“Many recipes call for too much water, which makes users wonder why their food is so bland or overcooked. Yes, it is true that you need a certain amount of water for the pot to come to pressure—but that water does not all need to come from the tap. Most vegetables, fruits, and meats release water while cooking. A LOT of water, in fact. In contrast, rice, most grains, potatoes, and pasta all absorb water.

Once you understand how this works, you will realize why many of my recipes don’t call for added water. Not only does it make food bland, but to thicken the sauce, you often end up having to use the Sauté function after the food is already well cooked—resulting in overcooked food.” ~URVASHI PITRE via Food52.
NOTE: If you are still nervous about using only 1/4 cup of water for this recipe, please go ahead and add 1/2 cup, or 1 cup. It will still be great but the sauce will be a little less tasty, even if you sauté it for a while.
I shouldn’t admit that I often skip this step if cooking skinless chicken thighs in the Instant Pot, but I do.The sauté function in the Instant Pot is incrediblyconvenient for browning vegetables and meat. The small surface, however, makes it very tedious to brown even a small amount of meat. Unfortunately, we all know that browning does add depth and flavour to the finished dish, and here it also adds complexity and colour to the sauce.

So I compromise. I brown the meat on one side only. I find this gives me the nice browned bits on the bottom of the pan that add so much flavour, without spending too long on thetask.
Yes you can. With a few considerations to keep in mind. Dark chicken meat is forgiving, even when overcooked in the Instant pot by a minute or two. Meltingly-tender, you just can’t mess it up. Chicken breast on the hand, is not that straightforward or easy. It just almost always will taste dry. If you have no choice but to use breasts, reduce the cooking time by 2 minutes, and consider shredding the cooked chicken into the sauce.
Yes! In fact, the first time I tested this recipe I used a block of frozen chicken thighs. They were shockingly delicious. Simply follow the recipe exactly, skip browning the chicken, and add 4 to 5 minutes more cooking time. If you wish, increase the spice amount by just a touch.
