    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.

      Loved this recipe! I added a little rosemary & thyme, and a bunch of paprika (Monash says they’re low fodmap https://www.monashfodmap.com/blog/using-herbs-spices-low-fodmap-diet/). Delicious, easy, perfect for a work night.
      I did get a little “food burn” warning the first time I started the instant pot, so I added a little water for the next round and then thickened the sauce at the end with some cornstarch slurry.

      I’ve made this twice now – once with thighs, once with chicken breasts. I enjoyed both, but our family would like a bit of salt. Can you recommend a healthy amount? thank you ~ I love your website.

        Hi Sandra, Glad to hear you and your family have enjoyed this recipe. Yes, please feel free to add a little salt (and pepper) if you’d prefer. Because taste preferences, the amount of sodium in the products used, and nutritional needs can vary, I usually recommend adjusting the flavor of recipes with salt (and pepper) to taste at the end of the recipe. I see I forgot to add that step in this recipe and will update it shortly. For this recipe, I would maybe start with stirring in a ¼ teaspoon of salt at the end and go from there. Best, -Em
