# Method:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until fully blended.
02 - Add chicken thighs, baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges. Toss all ingredients thoroughly until evenly coated with marinade.
03 - Pour 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Transfer the coated mixture into the pot. Seal the lid and select Manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Perform a quick release of pressure, then switch to Sauté for 3–5 minutes to reduce liquid to desired consistency.
04 - Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Arrange marinated chicken and vegetables in a single layer within the basket, working in batches if necessary. Air fry for 18–20 minutes, shaking or turning halfway through, until chicken is cooked thoroughly and vegetables are tender.
