Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs in half. Heat the pressure cooker and add the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt. Sauté the chicken on all sides until nicely colored. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Prepare Vegetables: Cut the carrot into half moons, coarsely chop the onion, and peel and cut the garlic into pieces.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot with the chicken oil and juices, add the onion, garlic, and carrot. Mix and sauté to caramelize slightly. Add a pinch of sugar, additional salt, pepper, and fresh thyme sprigs. Stir well.
- Add Tomato Paste and Liquids: Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and cook briefly to remove canned taste. Then add 100 g water and 500 g tomato juice, stirring to deglaze the pot and mix all ingredients.
- Combine Chicken and Beans: Lower the heat, add the sautéed chicken back into the pot along with the green beans (fresh or frozen). Mix gently.
- Pressure Cook: Close the pressure cooker lid securely. Set the valve to the appropriate pressure setting. When the pressure indicator reaches the cooking temperature (green), cook for 20 minutes.
- Serve: Release pressure carefully. Transfer the dish to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley, drizzle with olive oil, freshly ground pepper, and serve with feta cheese and toasted bread on the side.
