Set the Instant Pot to 1 minute on high pressure, then wait for full natural pressure release. (Takes about 15-20 minutes).

In the meantime, deseed and dice the yellow bell peppers, and slice the sugar snap peas into about 1/2" dice. Half the tomatoes and remove the green part, then cut into small dice as well. Then finely chop the parsley and set everything aside.

Make the dressing by adding olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, lemon juice from half a lemon, and orange juice from half an orange to a jar, seal it and shake until well combined.

Mix cooked quinoa and chicken, raw veggies, and dressing well together and season wit more sea salt and pepper if necessary. Then divide amongst 4 meal prep containers.
