01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
02 - Add chicken thighs, halved baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges to the marinade. Toss thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
03 - Pour 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Transfer the coated chicken and vegetables to the pot. Seal and cook on Manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Release pressure quickly and, if desired, use the Sauté function for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
