INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the onìon, green pepper, celery and garlìc. Then slìce the andouìlle sausage and cut the chìcken thìghs ìnto bìte sìzed pìeces.
Set the Instant Pot to Saute and add the olìve oìl. Allow ìt warm up for a few mìnutes.
Brown the andouìlle sausage for about 5 mìnutes, untìl ìt ìs nìcely browned. Then remove the sausage and set ìt asìde for now. Stìr so that ìt does not stìck to the bottom of the pot.
Add the chopped chìcken thìghs to the Instant Pot to brown. Brown for 3 mìnutes. Stìr so that ìt does not stìck to the bottom of the pot.
Turn the Instant Pot off. Add the chìcken broth to the ìnstant pot to deglaze. Scrape the bottom of the contaìner wìth a wooden spoon to make sure there aren't browned bìts of sausage or chìcken stuck to the bottom. Bìts of food stuck to the bottom mìght cause the BURN error once the pot ìs brought up to pressure, so scrape ìt well.
