Instant Pot Chicken Marbella Recipe

This Chicken Marbella has fantastic flavor – the spices, white wine, and dried fruit really amp up this chicken to a whole new level.  I love the sweet/salty combo of this dish – its a perfectly easy throw-together meal!

Chicken Marbella is an American dish, not at all Spanish in origin. It combines chicken with potatoes, carrots, prunes, onions, garlic, and white wine. I first had this at my mother-in-law’s house in Canada and absolutely loved it!

This Instant Pot Chicken Marbella Is:

• Satisfying
• Packed with Flavor
• A Little Salty
• A Little Sweet
• Easy to make in the Pressure Cooker or Slow Cooker (both instructions below!)

What’s In This Chicken Marbella?

• Onions, Carrots, Potatoes – I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market  – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here! 
• Chicken – I used chicken breasts from a local market. If you can source meat locally, it has so much more flavor AND supports local farmers.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive & like to keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry.  For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value.
• White Wine
• Prunes – I like the pitted prunes, which taste amazing in this recipe.
• Kalamata Olives: make sure they are pitted!
• Capers
• Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I like to use this low sodium vegetable stock for my recipes because it has great flavor
• Oregano: a spice I always put in my stews, tacos, or fajitas!  This dried oregano has a bright and earthy flavor.
• Salt & Pepper to Taste
