Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil or oil of choice

- 3 Chicken Thighs Boneless and skinless
- 2 Bell Peppers Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Paprika
- 2 Bay Leaves
- Salt and Pepper To Taste
- 1 ½ Cups Chicken Broth
- 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 2 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream

Instructions
- Add olive oil to the Instant Pot and select the saute setting. Add the chopped onion and saute for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and saute for another minute.
- Slice the chicken thighs and bell pepper into strips and add to the Instant Pot.
- Add the chicken broth, bay leaf, tomato, paste, paprika and greek yogurt to your pot. I like to stir the tomato paste and greek yogurt into the broth before adding them all to the Instant Pot.
- Secure the Instant Pot Lid. Select the manual setting button to pressure cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Natural release the Instant Pot Lid. Shred the chicken into smaller pieces using forks.
- Serve this chicken stew Instant Pot recipe in bowls with a dollop of sour cream or alongside mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
Notes
Be sure to naturally release the pressure for tender chicken. A quick release is not recommended for this recipe. It could result in less tender chicken and the liquid might spew out of the sealing valve.
