Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the cumin, oregano, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cardamom, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine and then set aside for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors of the spices to penetrate the chicken.
Once the chicken has marinated, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Now, it’s time to cook the Instant Pot Mediterranean Chicken. Add the chicken broth, white wine, diced tomatoes, olives, capers, parsley, and lemon juice to the Instant Pot. Place the chicken thighs on top of the mixture and close the lid. Cook on the “Manual” setting for 15 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes.
Once the pressure is released, carefully open the lid and remove the chicken thighs. Serve the chicken with the sauce poured over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
