Add oil to the pressure cooker and set it on the sauté feature.

Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic all-purpose seasoning, and paprika, mixing well to ensure even distribution.

Brown the chicken thighs in the pressure cooker for about 5 minutes on each side, scraping the bottom if they stick.

Remove the chicken from the pot once browned.

Sauté 3-4 roughly chopped garlic cloves in the pot for 1 minute.

Add about a quarter cup of water to the pot to help release flavors.

Add chopped carrots and season them with additional seasoning if desired.

Pierce the potatoes with a knife to help them cook faster, then add them to the pot with the vegetables.

Place the browned chicken on top of a roasting rack in the pot (or directly on the vegetables if no rack is available).

Add fresh rosemary and thyme on top of the chicken.

Close the lid and set the pressure cooker to the pressure cook feature for 10 minutes.

After cooking, remove the chicken and check the vegetables, which should be well-flavored from the broth.
