We have selected some easy homemade chicken recipes which you can make in a pressure cooker and serve for dinner or lunch. The pressure cooker chicken recipes and time depend upon the age of the chicken and the size of the pieces.
The timing in these recipes reflects cooking with a medium-sized piece of young chicken. For larger or older chickens, increase times by two to five minutes.
For a crispier chicken, put your chicken in the broiler for a few minutes after pressure cooking. This combination of pressure cooking, and broiling produces dishes that are moister and more flavorful than conventional cooking.
Since the cooking liquid and juices of the chicken are so flavorful, our recipes suggest their thickening or reduction after pressure cooking and serving with the chicken. The reduced sauces take about 10 minutes, if you are in hurry or on diet, you may skip the reduced sauce.
so let's check it out.
