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:

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

What’s In This Chicken Marbella?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Onions, Carrots, Potatoes
• 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
• White Wine
• Prunes – I like the pitted prunes, which give a rich sweet flavor.
• 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

Pressure Cook Chicken Marbella

This chicken Marbella couldn’t be simpler to make in your pressure cooker.

Of all my kitchen appliances, and I mean ALL of them, my Instant Pot pressure cooker is my most-used! I cook everything in it from beans and legumes, to soups and pasta dishes.

You can get Instant Pots in many sizes, but I like my 8-quart model, which is ideal for batch cooking and meal prep. It also has a quicker pressure-release feature which saves me even more cooking time.

I love that everything can cook in one pot, which makes for way less dishes and hands-off cooking. The Instant Pot is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance, and actually makes my life so much easier.
