Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your Instant Pot using the SAUTE function on the display panel. Add olive oil, onion and garlic. Stir every couple minutes until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken breast and cook for about 5 minutes. Add dried Italian seasoning, onion powder, fine sea salt, ground black pepper, coconut aminos, low sodium chicken broth and tomato sauce.

  • Give everything a stir and then add carrot and potatoes. It’s better to leave the veggies on top of the chicken liquid, so they don’t get soggy.

  • Place the lid on the pot and make sure the pressure valve is in the sealing position. On the display panel, press the cancel/off button. Then select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK button and use the +/- buttons until the display says 6 minutes.

  • When time is up, naturally release for 5 minutes before switching the pressure valve to the venting position. Open the lid and serve. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Click HERE to watch the web story.
  • You can opt to cook the chicken uncut and shred it into the stew afterward.
  • You can skip peeling the potatoes to save time.
  • Some jalapeno peppers or red pepper flakes added to the stew will add a nice kick of heat.
  • To store: Store leftover chicken stew in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • To reheat: You can reheat the stew in the Instant Pot, microwave, or stovetop.
  • To freeze: The cooked vegetables will become mushy so I don't recommend freezing them. However, you can freeze everything before then thawing it before cooking for an easy prepped meal for another day.
