PoulTRy
A host of great, light meals can evolve from chicken and other poultry when prepared in the pressure cooker. Be it a tender fillet
with a delightful, light sauce or a savory casserole with a host of nutritious vegetables, you’ll find the pressure cooker is perfect
for preparing your favorites in a hurry.
Try the following recipes and enjoy tasty poultry in a variety of ways or prepare your own favorite poultry dishes. Before you
begin, be sure to thoroughly clean the poultry and pat dry with paper towels. It’s not necessary to brown poultry before pressure
cooking, but you may do so if you like. Searing tends to seal in the natural juices, while cooking without browning lets the flavor
of the various ingredients intermingle for some spectacular taste combinations. For crispier chicken, you may want to put the
chicken under the broiler for a few minutes after pressure cooking.
The recipes in this section may be doubled. Be sure not to fill the pressure cooker over 2 ⁄
3
full (see page 6). When the recipe is
increased, the cooking time remains the same.
