# Method steps:

01 - Combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until emulsified.
02 - Add chicken thighs, baby potatoes, broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and red onion wedges to the bowl. Toss with tongs until thoroughly coated with the marinade.
03 - Pour 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Transfer coated chicken and vegetables into the pot. Seal lid and cook on Manual High Pressure for 10 minutes. Perform a quick pressure release and optionally set to Sauté mode for 3-5 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
