4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

6 cups chicken stock

2 bay leaves, or more to taste

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Place zucchini, shallots, poblano peppers, and carrots in a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add cumin, salt, chili powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper; stir well to combine. Add oil. Turn on cooker and select Saute function. Cook and stir until just slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in tomatoes. Nestle chicken thighs into the mixture. Add stock and bay leaves.

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate and remove skin, bones, and any cartilage. Shred into bite-sized pieces. Add shredded chicken back to the pot. Stir in black beans and lime juice.

You can use an onion in place of the shallots.

You can use olive or avocado oil in place of the grapeseed oil.

If using frozen chicken thighs, set cook time to 20 minutes.
