Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 lbs (907 grams) boneless chicken thighs, trimmed

Directions

1. Select “Browning/Sauté” on your electric pressure cooker and add 1 tablespoon oil.
2. Sprinkle chicken thighs with salt and pepper. When pressure cooker is hot, add half of chicken thighs to brown, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining oil and chicken thighs.
3. Add chicken broth to the pot while hot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger and cayenne pepper.
4. Return chicken and any juices to the pot and secure lid, making sure pressure release is set to “sealing”.
5. Select “High Pressure” and 9 minutes cook time.
6. When cook time ends, use a quick pressure release. When valve drops, open pressure cooker and stir in cilantro and lime juice.
7. Serve chicken over steamed rice, or as desired. Top with peanuts, lime wedges and more cilantro.
