Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 cup chopped red bell peppers
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

1 ½ cups chicken broth

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add cubed chicken; cook until golden, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil and cook onion, red peppers, green peppers, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, and red pepper flakes until tender, about 3 minutes. Place chicken back in the pot and stir in chicken broth, rice, and tomato sauce. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Complete releasing pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid; stir in capers. Serve with cilantro and lemon wedges.
