# Steps to follow:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
02 - Add chicken thighs, baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges to the bowl. Toss well so all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
03 - Pour 1/4 cup water into the base of the Instant Pot. Transfer coated mixture to the pot, seal the lid, and set to Manual High Pressure for 10 minutes. Once the timer ends, quick-release the pressure. If needed, select Sauté mode and cook for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
04 - Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Place chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the basket; cook in batches if necessary. Air fry for 18 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables become tender.
