Directions

  1. Rub each chicken thigh down with salt.

  2. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function, heat olive oil. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  3. Place bell pepper, onion, and garlic in the pressure cooker. Saute until starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add salt, cumin, ground red pepper, oregano, white pepper, and red pepper flakes, mix well. Cook until onion is translucent and softened, 3 to 5 minutes, making sure not to burn it.

  4. Mix in tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, scrape bottom to remove any browned bits.
