Instructions
- 1
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (high). Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the andouille sausage slices in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2–3 minutes until browned on the cut side, then stir and cook 1 minute more. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.

Add the chicken thigh pieces to the pot in a single layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until the underside is lightly golden, then stir. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage. Transfer to the plate with the sausage.
