Season skinless chicken with mashed garlic, chicken bouillon cube or adobo, soy sauce, sazon con achiote, cumin, black pepper, fresh lime, and olive oil. Mix everything until it's well combined and marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Prep your Instant Pot by setting it to saute. Once the Instant Pot is hot, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pot and brown chicken in batches. Once you finish browning the chicken, add all of the browned chicken back into the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.

Cover your Instant Pot with lid and set it to pressure cook on HIGH for 15 MINUTES. Once it's done cooking, carefully release pressure BEFORE opening lid.

Set Instant Pot back to saute mode. Add tomato paste and fresh cilantro and carefully mix together. Cook until sauce has reduce to your desire thickness. At the very end, add fresh onions, peppers, Spanish olives, and vinegar. Mix together and turn off Instant Pot.
