Instructions

Add the solid cooking fat to the bottom of your Instant Pot and press the sauté button.
When the fat has melted and the pan is hot, add the onions, and cook, stirring, for about 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Turn off the heat.
Add the water, salt, and turmeric to the pot and stir to combine. Add the root vegetables, squash, apricots, olives, lemon juice, and zest, and stir to combine. Add the chicken thighs, nestling in the vegetables. Close and lock the lid and cook on "manual - high pressure" for 9 minutes.
When the timer goes off, use the "quick release" method to depressurize with a damp towel.
Serve on a bed of cauliflower rice (or spiralized vegetables) topped with fresh cilantro.
