Sprinkle frozen thighs with salt. Place trivet in the Instant Pot and add broth. Place chicken thighs inside on the trivet.

Seal and cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. (See notes for boneless chicken thighs.) Preheat broiler.

Let the pressure release for 5-10 minutes. Place chicken thighs on a baking sheet and pat dry. Add more salt or seasoning if desired.

Place chicken thighs under the broiler, about 10 inches to a foot away from heat. Broil 5-10 minutes or until the skin is golden brown.

On Instant Pot, press Sauté and let appliance preheat a few minutes until display says Hot.

Add olive oil, onion and garlic; sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Press Cancel and add thyme, oregano and cumin; cook another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Add remaining ingredients in the following order: chicken, carrots, brown rice, water, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Do not stir.

Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cook on High or Manual: white rice - 10 minutes, brown rice - 22 minutes.

Display will say ON, Instant Pot will take about 15-20 minutes to come to pressure, you will see a bit of steam coming out from a valve, then float valve will rise and countdown will begin.

When display says OFF, release the pressure using Quick Release method by turning pressure valve to Venting position, which takes 2-3 minutes. I recommend doing so outside to avoid smell and mess in the house. Then open the lid.

Add dill or parsley and stir. If you like corn and peas with your chicken and rice add frozen now and stir again. Serve hot!
