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.
Ingredients
To make this pressure cooker low FODMAP chicken cacciatore recipe, add these ingredients to your shopping list:
- Garlic-infused olive oil - 1 tablespoon
- Chicken thighs - 5 thighs (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
- Carrot - 1 medium
- Red or green bell pepper - 1 medium
- Canned crushed tomatoes - 1 (14.5-ounce) can
- Dried oregano - 1 ½ teaspoons
- Capers - 2 tablespoons
- Kalamata olives - ⅓ cup halved olives
- Salt and pepper
Low FODMAP Notes
In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and, if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.
Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that Monash University has confirmed to be low FODMAP. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.
Carrots are a low FODMAP food. A suggested serving size is 75 grams or approximately half a medium carrot.
Red bell pepper is a FODMAP-free food. 2022 Update: Monash University retested red bell pepper and found it to contain FODMAPs. A low FODMAP serving of red bell pepper is now considered to be ⅓ cup or 43 grams. Larger servings contain moderate to high amounts of excess fructose. Peppers and chili peppers also contain capsaicin, which can be a non-FODMAP trigger for some people. Avoid if you suspect spicy food is an issue.
Green bell pepper is low FODMAP in servings of 1 cup, ¼ medium, or 75 grams. Larger servings (more than 3.5 cups) contain higher amounts of fructan.
Canned tomatoes have a low FODMAP serving of ½ cup or 100 grams. Larger servings contain higher amounts of fructose in excess of glucose.
Capers are low FODMAP in servings of 1 tablespoon or 8 grams.
Olives contain minimal FODMAPs. Enjoy according to your appetite.
Sides
Serve this chicken cacciatore over Low FODMAP Creamy Polenta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Add a low FODMAP serving of steamed green beans, sauteed zucchini, or a simple salad for a side dish.
