→ Vegetables

02 - 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
03 - 2 cups broccoli florets
04 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
05 - 1 small red onion, cut into wedges

→ Sauces & Seasonings

06 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
08 - 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
09 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
10 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
11 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
12 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
14 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Optional Garnish

15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
16 - Lemon wedges, for serving

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
02 - Add chicken thighs, baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges to the bowl. Toss well to evenly coat all pieces with the dressing.
03 - Pour 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Transfer the coated chicken and vegetables to the pot. Seal and set to Manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Use quick-release, then optionally sauté for 3–5 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
04 - Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Arrange marinated chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if needed). Air fry for 18–20 minutes, shaking once halfway through, until chicken reaches doneness and vegetables are fork-tender.
05 - Transfer cooked chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately while hot.
