- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, mix lemon juice, zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken with this marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Sauté the Chicken: Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode. Heat olive oil and brown the chicken on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

- Pressure Cook: Place the chicken back on top of the vegetables. Close the lid, seal the vent, and cook on ‘Manual’ for 10 minutes. Allow for a natural pressure release for 5-10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
- Serve: Carefully open the lid and serve the chicken and vegetables on a plate. Drizzle any remaining juices from the pot over the top.
