    Low FODMAP Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore

    This recipe has been on repeat in our house for the last couple of weeks. I love it so much!

    My stovetop Low FODMAP Chicken Cacciatore is one of the most popular recipes on Fun Without FODMAPs. So when I invested in an Instant Pot earlier this year, I knew I had to make a pressure cooker version.

    This Low FODMAP Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore has all of the same flavors as the original but is made a little more hands-off with the help of the ever-wonderful Instant Pot.

    Serving Suggestions:

    I suggest serving this cacciatore over Low FODMAP Creamy Polenta, mashed potatoes, or rice. My personal favorite is over polenta. This is a relatively new-to-me side dish, but I think it tastes amazing. It can also be made in the Instant Pot!!

    Typically, I’ll just serve the cacciatore over a starchy side dish, like the polenta, potatoes or rice, and call it a meal. However, you could also serve this with a different low FODMAP vegetable side. I think steamed green beans or broccoli would go nicely with this dish.

    • Green Beans:  A low FODMAP serving is 15 beans or 75 grams
    • Broccoli: A low FODMAP serving is ¾ cup or 75 grams

    Serve this with a piece of dark chocolate and/or my go-to “dessert” of low FODMAP berries, if you’re craving something sweet. Some options include:

    • Dark Chocolate: A low FODMAP serving is 5 squares or 30 grams
    • Raspberries: A low FODMAP serving is 30 berries or 60 grams
    • Blueberries: A low FODMAP serving is ¼ cup heaped or 40 grams
    • Strawberries: No FODMAPs were detected in this food.

    Description

    Filled with yummy Mediterranean flavors like tomatoes, oregano, and Kalamata olives, Low FODMAP Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore is a delicious and practically hands-off supper option! Serve over polenta, rice or mashed potatoes.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
    • 5 chicken thighs (about 1 to 1.25 pounds)
    • 1 medium  carrot, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
    • 1 red bell pepper, diced
    • 1 (14.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes with juice
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
    • 2 tablespoons capers
    • ⅓ cup kalamata olive halves
    • Salt and pepper

    Serving Suggestions: Steamed rice, polenta, or baked potato

    Optional Garnishes: Thinly sliced basil or chopped Italian parsley


    Instructions

    1. Select the “Saute” setting on the Instant Pot. Once hot, add oil and chicken. Saute the chicken for 1-2 minute per side.
    2. Cancel the “Saute” setting. Add carrot, bell pepper, tomatoes, and oregano. Place lid on top of Instant Pot and secure. Set vent to “Sealing”.
    3. Select the “Meat” setting on the Instant Pot. Adjust the time to 20 minutes on “High Pressure” and cook. After cooking, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes. Carefully switch the vent to “Venting” to release any remaining pressure. Remove lid.
    4. Stir in capers and kalamata olives. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper.
    5. Serve warm over rice, polenta, or baked potato and top with basil or parsley.

    Notes

    Canned Tomato:  A low FODMAP serving is ⅕ can or 92 grams. Larger servings of canned tomatoes may be tolerated, however, a 115-gram serving contains moderate (yellow) amounts of excess fructose. One ⅕ serving of this recipe contains 82 grams of canned tomatoes (green serving). One ¼ serving of this recipe contains 102 grams of canned tomatoes (between a green and yellow serving).

    No Instant Pot? No problem! Try my stove-top Low FODMAP Chicken Cacciatore.

      My husband is allergic to a large number of foods in addition to having to eat gluten free, dairy free and low FODMAP, so cooking at home is essential and trying to add variety to our meals is a challenge. I made this recipe tonight and we both loved it! Easy and delicious! I’m going out of town soon and was planning menus to make ahead and leave for my husband to eat. He said to just make another pot of your cacciatore chicken and he’d happily eat it every night! Thanks for your great recipe.

      Hi, Are the chicken thighs boneless, skinless or with bone and skin? Thanks

        Hi Jo! I’ve tried both ways and this recipe works with either.

      Are there other vegetables that could substitute for the bell pepper? I’m cooking for a rather picky eater and and other vegetable options and how it affects cooking this meal would be greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to try this!

        Hi Marianne, I haven’t tried a different vegetable, but have several ideas to consider. They include: 1) making the recipe without bell pepper 2) making the recipe without bell pepper and doubling the carrots or 3) replacing the bell pepper with some fresh green beans that are trimmed and chopped into bite-sized pieces. To help keep this dish low in FODMAPs, I would suggest no more than 30 green beans or 150 grams. As I said, I haven’t tried any of these modifications, but I don’t believe they should really affect the cooking time. Hope that helps. Let us know it goes! 🙂

      Looking forward to making this delicious – looking recipe. I did have one concern: For me, a pack of 4 chicken thighs is closer to 2 pounds than 1. How significantly would using 4 chicken thighs mess up the recipe? Doing this recipe with less just doesn’t seem worth it. Thanks!

        Great question, Bryce! It shouldn’t be a problem to use a larger amount of chicken. There might just be a little less liquid at the end.

      This was absolutely delicious and I only had plain olive oil! I served this with a side of green string beans. My husband also said it was delicious! Thank you

      This recipe looks amazing. Would love to try but i don’t own an instant pot???? Can this recipe work with a slow cooker as well? Thanks so much.

        Thanks, Aisha! It should work in a slow cooker. I haven’t tried it but I would say maybe cooking on low for 4-6 hours should work. Otherwise, I have a skillet version: http://funwithoutfodmaps.com/low-fodmap-chicken-cacciatore/ 🙂

      When you add the canned tomatoes, carrot and pepper, would you need to add water/fodmap safe broth to the IP?

        Hi Trish! Great question! As long as you add the liquid from the canned tomatoes, no water or broth is needed. 🙂 I’ve tested this recipe a handful of times, with and without added liquid, and find that there ends up being plenty of liquid with the recipe as written.
