02 - Add chicken thighs, halved baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges to the bowl; toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
03 - Pour 1/4 cup water into the base of the Instant Pot. Transfer coated chicken and vegetables to the pot, secure the lid, and set to Manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Initiate quick pressure release, then use Sauté mode for 3-5 minutes to reduce excess liquid as desired.
