For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken pieces in the olive oil before adding the vegetables. This adds depth and color to the dish. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can simmer this dish in a large pot or Dutch oven. Increase the cooking time to approximately 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Adjust the amount of water as needed to maintain a simmering consistency during cooking.
