# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
02 - Add chicken thighs, halved baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges to the bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
03 - Pour 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Transfer coated mixture to the pot, seal, and cook on Manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Perform a quick pressure release, then switch to Sauté mode and simmer for 3–5 minutes to reduce any excess liquid if desired.
