- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Cup chicken stock
- 2` Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the bottom of the instant pot. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the chicken stock, lemon juice, thyme, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Pour on top of the chicken thighs.
- Place the lid and make sure it is set to "sealing." Select manual setting and high pressure. Set the cook time for 10 minutes. When your chicken thighs are finished cooking, let the Instant Pot naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes. Quick-release the rest of the pressure and remove the lid when the pin drops.
Notes
- Nutrition info is for 4 ounces of cooked, skinless and boneless chicken thigh
- If your Instant Pot requires more liquid, you can add more chicken stock, or make up the difference with water.
