01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper until emulsified.
02 - Add chicken thighs, baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and red onion wedges into the bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
03 - Add 1/4 cup water to the insert. Transfer coated chicken and vegetables into the pot. Seal and set to Manual High Pressure for 10 minutes. Quick-release pressure, then activate Sauté mode for 3–5 minutes to reduce any excess liquid if desired.
