Moroccan Chicken with Olives and Capers (Pressure Cooker)
Made this flavorful dinner low carb by forgetting the potatoes and serving over a bed of Cauliflower Mash!
Marinate chicken for at least an hour, place the chicken on a trivet inside the pressure cooker (see below for more information on the trivet I use), as well as the remaining ingredients, and set timer.
Once the chicken is cooked, strain (but reserve) liquid from pressure cooker, then bring it to a boil in a skillet until reduced by half. Drizzle it over the chicken, along with the reserved olives and serve.

Moroccan Chicken with Olives and Capers (Pressure Cooker)
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in chicken quarters skinless
- 1 lemon* quartered
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup pitted olives black, green, Kalamata, or a mix, sliced
- 2 Tbsp capers drained
- 3 Tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
Marinade
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
- ¾ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp mustard powder
Instructions
- Combine marinade ingredients, and put in Ziploc bag with chicken, mixing until chicken is evenly coated. Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Place chicken in pressure cooker (on rack to elevate from liquid), topping with marinade. Squeeze lemons over chicken, and add to pot along with remaining ingredients, except parsley.
- Set timer (each model is different - approx 25-35 min).
- Once done, set chicken aside. Strain liquid (putting capers and olives over chicken), and pour liquid into a skillet. Bring to a boil and reduce by 1/2, then drizzle over chicken to serve. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
To cook in oven - place chicken and ingredients into a baking dish (big enough so chicken pieces are not overlapping). Cook at 400°F for 40-50 minutes, or until fully cooked.
