Instructions

  1. Set Instant Pot to the sauté function and add olive oil, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to ensure there are no bits or pieces stuck.

  4. In a small bowl whisk together the thyme, rosemary, sage, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add seasoning ingredients to the Instant Pot.
