For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding them to the Instant Pot. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for the broccoli. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the dish after cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
