Italian Style Chicken | Instant Pot Recipe

Spray the Instant Pot with olive oil spray.

Add 1 carrot, 1 celery stalk, and 1 onion to the pot.

Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add salt, pepper, cracked rosemary, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they start to become translucent.

Remove the sautéed vegetables and set them aside.

Add pieces of a whole chicken to the pot to brown on both sides, seasoning with garlic powder.

Brown the chicken in batches, about 4 pieces at a time, until golden.

Once browned, deglaze the pot with a little white wine, scraping the bottom to release the browned bits.

Layer the sautéed vegetables back into the pot.

Add defrosted frozen bell pepper on top of the vegetables.

Place the browned chicken on top of the bell pepper.

Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, tomato paste, cracked rosemary, Italian seasoning, and chili flakes.

Add 1 can of peeled Marzano tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water to the pot.

Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to seal.

Set the Instant Pot to manual mode for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before doing a quick release.

Open the pot and check that the chicken is tender and falling off the bone.
