Step 1

Begin by heating a skillet to medium high heat. While skillet is heating, salt and pepper each side of your chicken thighs. Add oil to the hot skillet, then crushed garlic. Cook for 1 minute, now add chicken. Sear chicken on each side for about 2 minutes (no need to cook all the way through).

Step 2

Place chicken on the bottom of your slow cooker. Now arrange the artichoke hearts, peppers, and olives around the chicken filling in the gaps on the bottom of your slow cooker. Top with sliced red onion.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of chicken broth (don't need the full 2/3 for slow cooker), vinegar, lemon, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Pour on top of the chicken/vegetable mixture. Place lid on top.

Step 4

Cover and cook for 4 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high. Remove lid.

Step 5

Spoon out some of the juice into a small bowl once cooking is complete. Add 1 tbsp of arrowroot starch to the juice, whisk, and pour back into the slow cooker. Allow the sauce to thicken for another 15-20 minutes before serving.

Step 6

Serve over potatoes, rice, or cauliflower rice. Top with fresh herbs, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, and optional feta.

Step 7

Select the saute function on your Instant Pot. While pot is heating, salt and pepper each side of your chicken thighs. Add oil to the hot pot, then crushed garlic. Cook for 1 minute, now add chicken. Sear chicken on each side for about 2 minutes (no need to cook all the way through).

Step 8

Now arrange the artichoke hearts, peppers, and olives around the chicken filling in the gaps on the bottom of your Instant Pot (if there are any). It's okay to let some of those veggies sit on top of the chicken. Top with sliced red onion.

Step 9

In a bowl, mix together chicken broth, vinegar, lemon, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Pour on top of the chicken/vegetable mixture. Secure the lid.

Step 10

Select the manual function (this may also be called "pressure" on certain versions of Instant Pot). Adjust the time using +- button to 7 minutes (this will cook on high pressure for 7 minutes).

Step 11

Once cooking is complete, use a quick release (natural release is also fine). Be sure to turn your valve down and release all steam before opening the lid.

Step 12

Spoon out some of the juice into a small bowl once cooking is complete. Add 2 tbsp of arrowroot starch to the juice, whisk, and pour back into the Instant Pot. Allow the sauce to thicken for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve over potatoes, rice, or cauliflower rice. Top with fresh herbs, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, and optional feta.
