Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
  • 2 cups chopped collard greens
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add diced chicken thighs to the pot and season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the chopped collard greens. Stir to combine everything well.

  4. 4

    Close the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to 'Sealing'. Select 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' and set the timer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Once cooking is complete, carefully quick-release the pressure with the valve set to 'Venting'. Open the lid and stir in apple cider vinegar for an added tang. Serve hot.
