Instructions
1

Begin by seasoning 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

2

Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

3

Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add 1 tablespoon of minced ginger and 2 cloves of minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Pour in 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup of honey, and the juice of 2 limes, stirring to combine.

5

Return the chicken to the pot, ensuring it is coated in the sauce. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

6

While the chicken cooks, prepare the quinoa-stuffed bell peppers. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water and cook it according to package instructions.

7

Once cooked, mix the quinoa with 1 cup of black beans, 1 cup of corn, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and salt to taste.

8

Cut the tops off 4 bell peppers and remove the seeds. Stuff each pepper with the quinoa mixture. After the chicken has finished cooking, perform a quick release of the pressure.

9

Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken drizzled with the ginger-lime glaze and alongside the stuffed bell peppers for a colorful and nutritious meal.
