Directions

Press “sauté” button on Instant Pot and add the oil. Once hot, add onion and garlic and a sprinkle of salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
Press cancel to stop the sauté function. Pour in stock, scraping up any browned bits. Add carrots, lentils, rosemary, oregano, and paprika to the pot and stir to combine.
Place chicken thighs on top of the lentil mixture.
Seal the lid and set to cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes. (It will take about 8 minutes for the pressure to build, then the timer will begin.)
Once the timer has stopped, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then turn to vent to release the remaining pressure completely before opening the lid.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon zest and juice, feta, and garnish with parsley.
