Instant pot Chicken Verde Stew step by step

Sauté bell peppers in any oil in instant pot for a few minutes.
Throw all ingredients except beans and water in instant pot. High pressure for 20 minutes.
Add beans and high pressure for another 5 minute.
Add water to taste at the end. I like to adjust water at the end because it is very flavorful and salty before adding water. I don’t like adding water before because it dilutes the mixture resulting in less flavorful ingredients (chicken, veggies)..

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss the chicken back into the pressure cooker. I like to thicken the broth and it is so easy! In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water and pour into the instant pot. Let saute and cook until the stew has thickened and is the desired consistency.
