Ingredients
 

Jerk Chicken

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 2 tsp allspice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1.5 lbs bag Trio Little Potatoes
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Mango Salsa

  • 2 mangos diced
  • ¼ cup sweet onion finely diced
  • ½ red pepper finely diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the allspice, cinnamon, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, thyme, salt and pepper, and brown sugar.
  • Coat the chicken on all sides with the spice mixture and set aside. No need to marinate the chicken but let it sit with the spices for a few minutes while you continue on.
  • Set your instant pot to the saute function and add the olive oil; allow the oil to heat up.
  • Once heated, add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the onions out of the instant pot into a bowl and set aside.
  • Add a little more olive oil if needed, then add the chicken to the instant pot, and start to brown the chicken on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches, removing the chicken to a plate once browned. (you don’t have to cook the chicken all the way; just brown the outside.).
  • Turn the instant pot off and pour in the chicken stock. Using a spoon, scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add one package of Trio Little Potatoes, then evenly spoon the onions over the potatoes.
  • Then add the chicken back into the pot along with any juice from the chicken.
  • Set the instant pot for 7 minutes on high pressure, then natural release for 10 minutes before quick releasing the remaining pressure in the pot.
  • While the chicken is cooking, in a medium bowl, mix the mango salsa ingredients together and set aside.
  • Serve the chicken and potatoes with mango salsa.
