<p>SUPER DELISH! The one reviewer who said this is bad either has weird taste buds or did something wrong. MODS: I used around 1lb of chicken tenders (bc it's what I had on hand), a can of chopped tomatoes instead of fresh, and I added about 4oz of frozen spinach at the end. In response to the reviewers who said it was watery, after the last step of pressure-cooking on low for 3 minutes, I allowed the pressure to naturally release for 25 minutes, then opened and served. No spice adjustments necessary! Just added some cotija cheese and parsley on top. Delicious!! I agree with another reviewer that this isn't particularly quick (took me over an hour, incl cook time). But it's totally worth the wait!</p>

This recipe is awesome! We make it very often- so delicious!!

We really liked this, the taste was excellent although it was a bit soupier than we expected from the picture.  Maybe if we added more orzo.  I've added it to our monthly rotation - oh, and I don't know the creator of the recipe.

This was very good. It seemed like a lot of olives, but the finished product had a good balance of ingredients. I might add some chopped artichoke hearts next time, and some feta cheese on top. The final product came out moister than I expected, so I might leave the lid off for that last 8-10 minute rest. Maybe I was supposed to? Anyway, it's good comfort food and the family loved it.

Made this in my Instant Pot exactly according to recipe. It was absolutely delicious! The lemony scent of chicken with olives filled my kitchen. My family loved it! We added a bit of feta cheese on top for garnish. A keeper!

Awesome weeknight recipe. It was a hit with my Olive loving family.  Super simple. Throw everything in the instant pot, kick up your feet. Very versatile. I added a half of a can of white beans. Next time, I may throw in spinach to make it a one pot meal.

Very easy, very good. As suggested in another review, I put spinach in at the end - wonderful! Next time will add some shrimp and leave out the green olives just for kicks. It will be better when I can use garden tomatoes. Thanks for sharing!

OMG.This was by far there worst recipe I have ever made. Cooking for over 45 years. Sauce was awful. Seriously the reviews were packed with people he knew. Awful. Tossed in the garbage.

Delicious!  Made some tweaks to suit our tastes:  I left bone-in chicken thighs whole, skinned

Amazing- makes me feel like a good cook.   It is that food you eat at potlucks and wonder how they did that...  But...  way more time consuming than a truly busy weeknight chef desires.   I am a dump and go kind of girl on weeknights and this left a bit too much grating, chopping, and hovering over a recipe to qualify as quick.  Not to mention that the instapot is never really “instant” by the time the pressure builds.   But it wasn’t complicated and is really “a taste of home” cooking.

I made this tonight and it was so easy and so good. I used green ripe olives in it, just wondering if I should have used Manzanilla olives instead. The only changes I would make when I make it again would be to add salt and pepper to the chicken and some lemon pepper to the broth. This was just wonderful on a cold night.

We really liked this recipe, but it required more time to absorb the liquid. I had to add three more minutes of pressure time after what the recipe stated, then another ten minutes of pressure release.

I make this recipe all the time! It's so good and you can change up the spices. I've used Indian spices to make it taste completely different and give it an Indian flare. Or use Italian spices to make it taste like the recipe asks. It's a great dish and I've never had anyone over that disliked it. Add some bread to serve it with!
