  • Set your instant pot to sauté and add 1 tbsp olive oil.

  • In batches, cook the chicken for 1 – 2 minutes on each side, adding more olive oil as needed. Remove the chicken from the pot.

  • Stir to combine, then place the chicken in the pot.
  • Add the mushrooms, artichokes, and bell peppers.
  • Secure the lid, select manual mode, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
