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. 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.
