Notes

Browning the chicken is optional but adds flavor; sear it for 5-7 minutes before pressure cooking if desired. Feel free to customize the vegetables; sweet potatoes or seasonal veggies work well too. To thicken the stew, mix cornstarch with water and stir in after cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or frozen for future meals. A splash of lemon juice before serving brightens the flavors.
