chicken

computer is packed for my house showings so that's what's going on but i'm still cooking and taking pics ... don't be fooled by my absence ...My posts are getting slower but they will pick up once the house is sold and i can look like I live in my house again.

week 7 of veggies

pressure cooker Beer Tex Mex Chicken


1 beer or your choice, the darker the better I think I use gluten free though
6 chicken breasts – if they are thick cut them lengthwise
Honey to taste ( 2 tbsp) or more you can add more after it’s cooked to taste
1 large onion slices how you like it
2 garlic cloves

Ok so I do this all to what I like but feel free to add or reduce amounts:

3 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
A bit of salt and pepper  

Turn the pressure cooker on and set it to meat, add the chicken breasts and while you’re chopping all the other ingredients the chicken will brown a bit add all the ingredients … give it a stir and then put the lid on and let it do it’s magic for 20 minute. Sometimes if you take too long the timer starts I usually just turn it off and turn it back on so it starts with 20 minutes. Let depressurise automatically.. 

Once it is ready take 2 forks, being careful you don’t scratch your pot, break apart the chicken into pulled chicken, I sometimes set the pressure cooker to the soup setting and it simmers. If you want a thicker sauce add a cup of grated cheese and stir , sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve !


 Pressure cooker Rosemary Honey Chicken
 
6 chicken breasts – if they are thick cut them lengthwise
1/3 cup of honey
2 cloves of garlic chopped finely
4 spring onions ( green onions) or 1 medium onion
2 sprigs or more of fresh rosemary chopped up
2 tbsp Dijon mustard


Turn the pressure cooker on and set it to meat, add the chicken breasts and while you’re chopping all the other ingredients the chicken will brown a bit add all the ingredients … give it a stir and then put the lid on and let it do it’s magic for 20 minute. Sometimes if you take too long the timer starts I usually just turn it off and turn it back on so it starts with 20 minutes. Let depressurise automatically..  

When you open your lid stir the chicken so that it’s covered in sauce and serve …. Yum my new fave !
