Ingredients You’ll Need

2 pounds of chicken thighs (boneless, skinless for ultimate ease)
1 ripe papaya (the star of the show!)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger paste (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed, because we’re fancy)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional, but it makes everything look snazzy)

Instructions: Time to Get Cooking!

First things first, let’s chop that papaya! Cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and then slice it into cubes. Set it aside; it’s about to be the life of the party!
Now, grab your Instant Pot and set it to ‘Sauté’ mode. Add the olive oil, and once it’s hot, toss in the diced onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and your kitchen smells like heaven.
Next, add the chicken thighs to the Pot and give them a little browning action—just a few minutes on each side. We’re building flavor here!
Now, sprinkle in the ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together and embrace the yummy scents wafting around you.
Finally, throw in those juicy papaya cubes. Give it one last gentle stir, sealing in all the goodness.
Secure the lid on your Instant Pot, set it to ‘Manual’ and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. While it does its magic, try not to drool as you dream of the deliciousness that awaits!
Once the timer goes off, perform a quick release. Carefully remove the lid, and be prepared for a flavor explosion!
Serve the Chicken Papaya hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if you’re feeling adventurous. Enjoy it over rice, quinoa, or just on its own if you’re feeling like a rebel!

And there you have it! A scrumptious and slightly quirky dish that’s bound to impress. So, gather your loved ones, serve up this delightful Chicken Papaya, and watch as they are blown away by your cooking skills!
